Your Impact

You will help clients develop or validate their models and assess their modeling frameworks supporting a variety of risk functions, including credit, market, insurance, ESG or model risk management.

You will be part of a team of exceptional risk analytics professionals with similarly deep industry experience and will be expected to communicate complex analytics concepts in a clear and concise manner to key client stakeholders. We are therefore looking for candidates who can establish connections between sophisticated modeling techniques and strategic decision-making processes. We have a global client base and you will be exposed to a highly international environment.

You will also have the opportunity to advance McKinsey’s overall knowledge base by providing rigorous analysis to and problem solving for our proprietary knowledge investments. At more senior levels, you’ll also focus on developing new analytical approaches and techniques such as AI or GenAI, working with an outstanding knowledge structure and international network of experts in order to codify existing knowledge and develop new knowledge.

Working on projects and exchanging experiences with your colleagues means you will face new intellectual challenges on a daily basis, while continuously building your methodological knowledge and skills.
