Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place.

Who You'll Work With

You’ll be part of McKinsey’s SHaPE proposal team in Europe and will be based in Germany.

You will be a thought partner to local SHaPE leaders to help deliver the client activation mission, supporting the overall client activation strategy and serving as the point person managing priority proposal opportunities. You will collaborate with the Practice leadership and management team, and the proposal team globally. You will collaborate with consultants leading priority proposals.

Day-to-day, your team will consist a network of client activation colleagues including proposal team, client development advisors, knowledge professionals, internal firm functions such as legal, risk, finance teams, and consultants with different levels of seniority and varying topical expertise, all focusing on partnering with public and healthcare sector clients in Germany.

Alongside your alignment to the SHaPE Practice, you will be part of McKinsey’s Proposal Services path, a global community focused on growing our existing and new client relationships by enabling efficient and effective delivery of proposals. You will collaborate with other colleagues (e.g., client development advisors, proposal strategists, designers, competitive insights specialists, etc.) to shape our thinking on proposal best practices and drive continuous improvement.

You will report to the European SHaPE proposal management team leader.

Your impact within our firm

You will be a key member of the SHaPE proposal management team in Europe, with a focus on Germany.

In this role, you will support teams to co-create elements of distinctive proposals and associated supporting materials. Specifically, you will coordinate the proposal document and process under the guidance of Proposal Managers/Specialists, create timely and high-quality proposal content, gather feedback, and manage the cadence of iterations and reviews with consultant teams.

You will embed yourself in consultant and proposal teams via an agile operating model to learn client context and create compelling proposal documents, materials, and experiences. You will seek opportunities to bring the best of the Firm’s broader capabilities and expertise into proposals.

Additionally, you will contribute to positive team dynamics by supporting other team members and celebrating success stories. You will grow industry and sector knowledge during and outside proposals to help shape content proactively with relevant knowledge. You will adhere to relevant procedures (e.g., file structure, archive, backup) for all proposal materials and processes. You will prepare templates, compliance matrices, close-out activities, and/or other administrative elements throughout proposal development based on submission requirements. You will build proposal development expertise and create content and thought leadership that can be used as recipes/best practices at the cell or global level.

Lastly, you will maintain and populate proposal assets (playbooks, repositories, digital tools, templates, best-practice examples, reference cases).
