Job Description

Who You'll Work With

You will be based in one of our Nordic offices as part of our McKinsey Digital practice.

McKinsey Digital brings together the best of McKinsey’s digital capabilities to help our clients use digital technology to transform their businesses. As part of this group, you’ll join a global team working on everything from IT modernization and digital strategy to cloud, advanced analytics and digital business building.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on projects across all industries and functions and will be fully integrated with the rest of our global firm, but have a focus on our more advanced projects in terms of analytics and digitalization. You’ll also work with colleagues from across McKinsey & Company, frequently in teams together with our data scientists and data engineers to help our clients deliver breakthrough products, experiences and businesses, primarily on technology topics.

What You'll Do

You will work with C-suite executives, problem-solve on their key issues and provide actionable recommendations leveraging your technology know-how and business sense.

In this role, you will play an active role in all aspects of a client project, typically working in teams of 3 to 5 consultants alongside experts and partners of all tenures including developers, designers, data engineers, agile coaches and others. Your responsibilities will include gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You will also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.

You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on your teams. This support includes a partner from your local office or practice assigned to you to help guide your career as well as more formal training in your first few years. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance and support from your local office and practice in the selection of client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network.

Your role differs from our regular consultant position in that you will be taking a hybrid role of both a management consultant and a data scientist. This will signify working on projects focused on analytics and leveraging programming to conduct more advanced analyses.
