Join McKinsey's Tech & AI team to solve complex tech-enabled business challenges for senior leaders. You will work on end-to-end projects in cross-functional teams (3-5 consultants) to gather data, formulate and test hypotheses, and present recommendations to client management. Based in Amsterdam with Brussels as a nearby focus, you’ll receive extensive training and mentorship, including formal training in your first two years. The role sits at the intersection of technology and strategy, applying digital, AI, and analytics know-how to drive business change for a range of industries.
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
You will work with C-suite executives and senior managers, problem-solve on key issues as well as provide actionable recommendations leveraging your technological know-how and business sense.
You will play an active role in all aspects of a client project, typically working in teams of 3-5 consultants alongside experts and colleagues of all tenures, including developers, designers, data engineers, agile coaches and others. This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations for client presentations. During some projects you’ll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.
Our consultants receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. 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 two years as an Associate. 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.
You'll work as part of our McKinsey Tech & AI team in Amsterdam. McKinsey Tech & AI helps enterprises think strategically about how to leverage technology to create fundamental business change – from formulating tech-driven growth strategies to enabling more efficient operations, through the use of technology.
