Consultant - Risk & Resilience

Manager / Team Leader

You will work as part of our global Risk & Resilience Practice supporting clients across many industries facing challenges beyond just managing risk. We help clients by delivering tailored approaches to enhance resilience, create value, and build risk skills and assets. Resilience is more relevant than ever due to the pandemic, climate disasters, cybersecurity breaches, supply chain disruptions, inflation, regulatory actions, and other issues faced by clients.

We serve clients across industries in risk areas including credit risk, crisis response, risk data and digitization, operational risk, compliance and controls, enterprise risk management and risk culture, trading and balance sheet risk, risk analytics, and regulation.

Organizations today face unprecedented risk levels from diverse sources. Developing effective, risk-informed strategies can offer a competitive advantage. We combine McKinsey's industry insight and strategic skills with structured risk-management approaches, proven methodologies, advanced analytics, and practical implementation.

You will work as a Consultant in our Risk & Resilience Practice at one of our European hub locations, helping clients embrace uncertainty, embed resilience, and enable growth through strategies aligned with their business goals to better manage risks and ensure resilience.

You will collaborate with a team of consultants to understand and quantify risk exposures, evaluate risk strategies, and address vulnerabilities and disruptions by analyzing data, scenario planning, and stress-testing. You will help build enterprise risk management capabilities, anticipate risks, and identify growth opportunities, translating insights into actionable strategies and embedding resilience across organizations.

Joining McKinsey as a Consultant offers professional development, skill-building, and coaching opportunities. You will receive mentorship from senior colleagues, formal training, and support to achieve your career goals.
