Business Analyst - McKinsey Transformation

McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm that drives lasting impact for clients. The Business Analyst role involves working on transformation projects, executing methodologies to enhance client performance, and collaborating with teams to deliver effective solutions.

Responsibilities

You will operate as part of an engagement team, typically consisting of a team of 2-5 consultants led by an engagement manager

Together you will drive the day-to-day execution of a transformation effort to help clients achieve new performance highs in their business

You will apply a proven, methodology-driven approach to large-scale transformation that focuses on execution and capability building

Your client engagements will often span >6 months, and they will generally include three phases: Independent Diligence, Bottom-Up Planning, and Implementation

Within these engagements we ensure Analysts are exposed to multiple areas of the businesses, rotating their responsibilities across the Transformation Office and functional and strategic support areas

You will work directly with clients - usually on site - and will take ownership of specific workstreams and end-products within the overall transformation program

You will be responsible for delivering the transformation objectives within your workstream, coaching your clients to develop and execute effective improvement plans and role-modeling a mindset of rapid decision-making

Above all, your job will be to mobilize and help clients to achieve change that exceeds their expectations

More broadly, you will have the opportunity to build on your proven capabilities and leverage a range of influencing styles

You will inspire others, build strong relationships and display high energy and resilience in ambiguous and fast-paced contexts

In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but will also – after appropriate apprenticeship – be expected to operate autonomously with limited direction to drive progress in your areas of accountability

You will work as part of McKinsey’s global Transformation practice

There will be flexibility in the location of this role across our offices in North America

In the Business Analyst role, you will have the opportunity to work on teams and help organizations across the world - across the private, public, and social sectors - solve some of their most difficult problems and operational challenges

You will work with McKinsey teams comprised of transformation experts, sector/functional specialists, and generalist consultants

You will also work with a variety of individuals at our clients, ranging from the C-Suite to front-line workers

When you join McKinsey, you are joining a firm whose culture is distinctive and inclusive

We will accelerate your development as a leader to create positive, enduring change in the world
