Job description

Who You’ll Work With

Driving lasting impact and building long‑term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture – doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you’ll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

• Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast‑paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World‑class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well‑being for you and your family.

Your Impact

You will design and implement our clients’ transformation plans and execute wide transformation programs such as operational improvements, KPI implementation, process improvement, etc.

In this role, you will coordinate and ensure the successful implementation of transformations. You will spend your time preparing, understanding and driving implementation projects, defining and supporting change management efforts and coaching clients. You will be brought in to help organizations execute large‑scale transformations, such as digital transformations, operational improvements, or cultural shifts.

You will also manage project workstreams largely independently. As you gain experience, you will gradually assume responsibility for delivering parts of transformation projects yourself. You will lead less tenured consultants and clients in your project or workstream and successfully hold client meetings and workshops to achieve the project’s objectives.

You will also contribute to the development of the firm through participation in internal projects. You will be based in our Madrid office and will join a team of consultants and transformation execution experts. You will work within Orphoz, a McKinsey & Company division that specializes in implementation, transformation, and change management helping organizations execute complex transformation programs and achieve sustainable results by bridging the gap between strategy and execution.
