Engagement Manager - Sustainability, Japan
Who You'll Work With
You will be based in our Tokyo office as part of our Sustainability Insights team.
McKinsey has the goal of helping all industry sectors transform to get to net zero by 2050 and to cut carbon emissions by half by 2030 – with this in mind, we have launched McKinsey Sustainability, our new client-service platform.
McKinsey Sustainability seeks to be the preeminent impact partner and advisor for our clients, from the board room to the engine room, on sustainability, climate, energy transition, and environmental, social and governance (ESG). We are committed to investing behind this goal over the next four years—through our client service, knowledge and capability building, acquisitions and alliances as well as pro-bono investments.
We are assembling the best talent in the world to deliver against these objectives. If you have relevant expertise in sustainability, energy transition, renewables, sustainable finance and decarbonization and would like to be part of a growing team in Asia that will drive enormous impact through client service, knowledge development and capability building, come join our Sustainability Insights Asia team.
Sustainability Insights (SI) houses our expertise in sustainability, energy transition, renewables, sustainable finance and decarbonization. SI experts work with clients to deliver on their sustainability objectives along with McKinsey traditional teams, and sector teams to develop recommendations based on the findings. SI is the repository of McKinsey’s cutting edge thinking, knowledge and insights on asset decarbonization, renewables, hydrogen, CCUS, sustainable financing, carbon offsets, electric vehicles and other relevant topics.
What You'll Do
You will typically lead a team of 3-5 consultants to help clients achieve new performance highs.
You will lead the day to day execution of a client project while guiding and developing individual team members. You’ll work directly with clients – when possible on site – and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its end products.
You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design and implementation of business performance approaches, developing tailor-made solutions and working closely with clients to ensure positive impact and sustainable results. You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships and creating a true followership. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction.
Client project work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members.
You’ll also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. Consultants receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues and senior leaders on their teams.
