Full Job Description
YOUR IMPACT

You will lead large-scale business transformation and implementation programs across a range of industries and functions, partnering with senior client leaders to translate strategy into execution and deliver measurable, sustainable results.

You will drive a broad portfolio of transformation initiatives, including operational excellence, restructuring and turnaround execution, process optimization, organizational redesign, post-merger integration, digital transformation, and strategic operations improvement efforts.

Working side-by-side with client teams, you will build the capabilities, governance structures, operating models, systems, and processes required to achieve lasting impact. You will lead complex workstreams, develop and manage implementation roadmaps, and drive execution through rigorous program management, stakeholder engagement, and change leadership.

You will also coach and develop teams of consultants and client stakeholders, facilitate executive workshops and governance forums, and apply structured problem-solving to support effective decision-making and delivery. In addition, you will establish PMO and performance management mechanisms to track progress, manage risks, and ensure value capture. You will contribute to business development through proposal development and client relationship building, while helping shape the continued growth and evolution of the Delivery Assurance capability across North America.

This role offers the opportunity to work in a highly entrepreneurial and collaborative environment, partnering with leading organizations to address their most critical transformation priorities.

You will be part of McKinsey's global Transformation practice, which helps organizations change their trajectory and achieve their full potential through holistic interventions across performance, capabilities, and organizational health. Our transformation approaches are enabled by distinctive tools and technologies and delivered by specialists who work alongside client teams to drive real, sustained change. We bring together experienced professionals from industry, private equity, restructuring, and professional services with McKinsey's global network of industry and functional experts to deliver large-scale transformations around the world.

YOUR GROWTH

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues-at all levels-will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won't find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

  • Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
  • A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You'll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
  • Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm's diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.


YOUR QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS

  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred
  • 8+ years of consulting, transformation delivery, project management, or operational implementation experience
  • Experience leading large-scale transformation programs, PMOs, and cross-functional workstreams in consulting or complex operational environments
  • Proven ability to lead consultants and client teams through implementation and change initiatives while managing senior stakeholder relationships
  • Strong project and program management, problem-solving, communication, and facilitation skills, including workshops and governance meetings
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the flexibility and agility required in a consulting environment
