Job description

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.

You’ll take ownership for the delivery of a small project or independent workstream within a larger project, developing functionally coordinated plans with specific initiatives and timelines.

In this role you’ll actively manage the client relationship during the project, supervising or working closely with client teams to achieve project goals. You’ll be part of the project team on the ground, monitoring and evaluating performance and efficiency, and coaching less tenured team members.

You will strive to build client capabilities through continuous, on‑the‑job coaching to ensure sustained impact beyond the end of the project. You’ll specialize in one or more service line and will become a subject matter expert in your chosen sector or function.

You’ll strengthen the firm’s knowledge base by codifying learnings from projects, and sharing your knowledge with your teams. You’ll chart your own development journey, attending formal training programs, working with the partners you find most inspiring, and focusing on the business areas you are most passionate about.

You will help organizations across the public sector by implementing transformation strategies, building capabilities and leading cultural change.

As the Kingdom advances toward achieving Vision 2030, you will play a key role in leveraging McKinsey & Company's global expertise and implementation capabilities to drive and support this transformative journey.
