Consultant
McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm that serves leading businesses, governments, non-governmental organizations, and not for profits. We have over 125 offices in more than 65 countries. Our consultants work in many roles to solve our client’s toughest issues, whether as a trusted advisor or a hands-on coach. They integrate world-class problem solving, industry and functional expertise, and proprietary tools and capabilities to create change and lasting impact.
Who You'll Work With
You will be based in our Helsinki office.
When you join McKinsey as a Consultant, you are joining a firm that will challenge you and invest in your professional development. In this role you will work on the best teams to help the best organizations in the world – in private, public, and social sectors – solve their most difficult problems. You will also work with many experts, from data scientists and researchers to software and app designers.
If you are interested in joining a specific practice, please indicate this in your office/practice preference (combinations are possible). To learn more about how we help our clients and where you fit in, visit our careers site.
What You'll Do
You’ll work in teams of typically 3 – 5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.
This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.
As a consultant, you will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues. This support includes a Partner from your local office or practice assigned to you to help guide your career as well as up to five weeks of formal training in your first few years. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance and support from your local office or practice in the selection of client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network.
While all consultants develop specialized knowledge and a focused program as they progress with McKinsey, most are initially very broad in their focus, meaning they do not need specific industry or functional expertise to be successful. For consultants who join McKinsey as experienced professionals, this can mean building on previous knowledge or developing unique experience in an area that is completely new.
