Junior Associate null

Your role

Junior Associates join their offices and practices (e.g. Digital, Marketing & Sales, Operations, etc.) around the world to work in teams and directly with their clients. In addition to these locations, this job opportunity is also available in Ho Chi Minh City.

In this role, you will work on the best teams to help the best organizations in the world – in private, public, and social sectors – solve their most difficult problems. You will also work with many experts, from data scientists and researchers to software and app designers.

Responsibilities

• You’ll work in teams of typically 3 - 5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.
• This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations.  
• You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. 
• Junior Associates receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams.

• 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.
• While all consultants develop specialized knowledge and a focused program as they progress with McKinsey, most are initially very broad in their focus, meaning they do not need specific industry or functional expertise to be successful.
• For consultants who join McKinsey as experienced professionals, this can mean building on previous knowledge or developing unique experience in an area that is completely new.
