Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

McKinsey & Company is a premier global management consulting firm and trusted adviser on strategy, organization, operations and information technology to the world’s leading businesses, governments and institutions. Serving 90% of the 100 largest global companies, McKinsey is a global
firm, with over 130 offices in 65 countries, linked by closely-knit industry and functional practices that concentrate on knowledge and expertise.
Since 2018, we have invested nearly $1 billion to upgrade our internal risk, legal, and compliance capabilities as part of our ambition to lead our industry—and we have recruited some of the world’s best talent to help. Among other enhancements, we introduced an industry-leading client service framework (CITIO), which helps us vet each new client and guides our approach to projects. Our commitment extends to our suppliers and internal systems, where we have improved cybersecurity controls, data and document retention, and process management. Annually, our colleagues participate in a rigorous Professional Standards and Risk training program.
You will be part of McKinsey’s Ethics and Compliance (E&C) function and will be based in the North America region. The E&C function’s mission is to manage risks to our firm, our clients, and our people, while also enabling our firm’s client impact and innovation. The E&C function is a globally integrated team within the second line of defense of our firm. McKinsey has an E&C program that is structured in a way that ensures that it is well designed, empowered to function effectively, and works in practice. Our E&C program includes a clear message that misconduct is not tolerated as well as policies, procedures, training, monitoring and consequence management to ensure the program is well-integrated into our firm’s operations and workforce. You will be a member of the Ethics and Regulatory Relations pillar, which is responsible for instilling trust by amplifying integrity, effectively managing concerns, and leading labor and human rights compliance.
This role reports to the Associate Director of Ethics, Integrity.
You will execute and implement our firm’s global Ethics and Integrity program overseeing and managing various projects and workstreams using tools such as JIRA and other project management software.
You will set up and monitor complex project schedules, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
You will prepare materials to support clear articulation of our ethics obligations to various stakeholders as well as refine and adjust our approaches and frameworks to enable an effective and comprehensive program.
You will support initiatives to infuse integrity into our firm's recruiting, training, way we work, evaluation, disclosures, and promotion processes.
You will be expected to be a contributor and thought partner within the function, in addition to supporting key organizational, operational, or strategic initiatives, as relevant.
You will identify and leverage internal and external data to enable regular reporting, actionable insights, and compelling recommendations for the ethics and integrity program.
You will collaborate with a cross -functional and senior stakeholder group (e.g., Legal, Risk) across our firm in a timely and efficient manner.
You will play a critical role in sustaining and evolving our E&C program and upholding our commitment to integrity and lawful practices.
