Are you driven by the opportunity to tackle complex challenges and work alongside top leaders? Do you want to be part of a team that delivers outcomes that others simply can’t? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Who You'll Work With

You will join the Performance Lens team that runs the North America Asset Management Survey.

The Asset Management Survey is an industry-leading benchmarking survey that evaluates asset managers’ economic performance against peers and identifies opportunities for asset managers to improve growth and profitability.

You will support the end-to-end operations of the North America Asset Management Survey and its affiliate surveys (e.g., deep-dive surveys, pulse surveys, etc.), from survey design to data collection to data analysis and insight

Your impact within our firm

As a member of our globally distributed Performance Lens team, you will be based in our Toronto office, collaborating with colleagues across North America, Europe, and Asia. Performance Lens is a McKinsey Solution that manages the proprietary data of the Wealth and Asset Management practice. This innovative solution provides fact-based, actionable insights to enhance asset managers’ business performance by combining industry-leading data, analytics, and tools with McKinsey’s deep expertise in asset and wealth management. Our investment in this knowledge asset is rooted in the belief that a highly granular and objective perspective on the industry is crucial for aiding asset managers in making key strategic decisions. Performance Lens maintains several core capabilities, including the Asset Management Survey, which is extensively utilized by McKinsey’s consulting teams and directly provided to asset management clients.

In this role, you will be responsible for enhancing existing surveys and developing new ones to ensure that the data collected is consistent, reliable, and relevant based on industry trends. You will onboard survey participants, specifically asset management firms, and review their survey responses to ensure the data adheres to McKinsey’s survey taxonomy, liaising with participants as necessary to refine the data. Additionally, you will generate and validate industry benchmarks by leveraging subject matter experts and other data sources, both within and outside of Performance Lens. Your tasks will also include preparing, quality-assuring, and publishing survey outputs through written reports and McKinsey’s online reporting platform. Furthermore, you will present industry and benchmarking insights to senior executives to facilitate strategic decision-making and handle ad hoc data requests from McKinsey’s consulting teams and asset management clients, acting as a thought partner in problem-solving.

The work you do in this role is vital because it supports asset managers in making informed, strategic decisions that can significantly impact their business performance. By providing a highly granular and objective perspective on the industry, you will help shape the future of asset management. Ultimately, you will become a “go-to” person for the North America Asset Management Survey and be recognized as an expert on asset management trends and data sources.

Bachelor's degree in business, economics, finance, mathematics or statistics; master's degree is a plus
5+ years of experience working in a fast-paced, high-demand business environment
2+ years working in the asset management industry or other financial services sectors (e.g., banking, wealth management, etc.) preferred
