Chief Transformation Officer - McKinsey Transformation - #1334948

Founded in 2010, McKinsey Transformation focuses exclusively on holistic transformations, corporate restructuring and growth engagements. We help clients drive rapid and dramatic performance improvement, plus provide a full suite of services to support companies grow and improve.

When you join McKinsey, you are joining a firm whose culture is distinctive and inclusive. We will accelerate your development as a leader to create positive, enduring change in the world. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on teams and help the best organizations in the world - across the private, public, and social sectors - solve some of their most difficult problems.

You will typically consult to existing client service teams as well as top managers at client organizations.

You will have the opportunity to be an entrepreneur, opening up new opportunities for client impact and reinventing McKinsey’s approaches. You’ll be responsible for identifying new client opportunities to advise companies on transformational change and capability building.

You will also lead and advise developing consultants and be an important source of intellectual insight on a client project, framing business problems in a way that the teams can then execute to drive impact and value for the client. Advising and collaborating with individual project managers, you’ll lead the teams on their day to day problem solving, team management and client management.

Additionally, you’ll bring deep functional knowledge, expertise and proprietary tools to every client situation. You’ll manage and develop strategic client relationships while ensuring the highest quality client work and while inspiring, leading, and developing new consultants.

You will have the opportunity to leverage your proven leadership skills and your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships, and creating a true followership. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction. Your superior analytical, quantitative and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure successful client projects and team performance.

You’ll also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. Consultants receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues and senior leaders on their teams.
