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

As an Associate with McKinsey Tech & AI, you will join a client service team and take ownership of a workstream to solve some of the toughest challenges our clients face.

Your clients aren’t just any clients, they're some of the most influential organizations around, from Fortune 500 giants to innovative startups. You and your team will go the extra mile, delivering solutions that solve immediate problems and drive long-term change. We’ll rely on your judgment and integrity to ensure our recommendations are effective and long-lasting.

You will take on a role that goes beyond advising. You’ll be at the heart of the action—helping to uncover the true challenges behind a client’s strategy and creating actionable plans that drive real change. Working alongside clients and other McKinsey colleagues, you’ll combine research, analyzing data, interviews, and brainstorming to generate fresh insights and breakthrough solutions. Your commitment to our values will be crucial in earning our clients' trust and delivering results that matter.

As you collaborate directly with clients, you’ll help them deliver breakthrough products, experiences, and business, both on technology and non-technology topics, as well as solve problems, refine strategies, and implement transformations. By equipping them with the tools and knowledge to continue innovating and improving after we’ve left, you’ll ensure the impact of our work endures. In doing so, you’ll uphold McKinsey’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the industries and communities we serve.

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.

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.

An advanced graduate degree (e.g., MBA, PhD, etc.) or equivalent work experience
Outstanding record of academic achievement, with functional knowledge and passion for Technology (e.g., Product Management, Software/Data Engineering, Data Science, Design, IT strategy consulting, IT infrastructure & architecture, Cloud, IoT, AI/machine learning, robotics, big data and analytics, cyber security, etc.)
Ability to create product-focused materials/outputs, which may include PowerPoint decks, Excel models, articles, or other written deliverables

Excellent organizational capabilities, including the ability to initiate tasks independently and see them through to completion
Proficient in rational decision making based on data, facts, and logical reasoning
Exceptional time management to meet your responsibilities in a complex and largely autonomous work environment
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, in English with the ability to adjust your style to suit different perspectives and seniority levels
