Additionally, you will translate business problems into analytical problems, develop models aimed at solving our clients’ and users’ problems, and ensure they are evaluated with the relevant metrics.
You will be based in the Bangkok office, working with Tech & AI at McKinsey, which brings together the best of McKinsey’s digital capabilities to help our clients use digital technology to transform their businesses. As part of this group, you’ll join a global team working on everything from AI-led transformation, strategy to agile, cloud, cybersecurity, digital transformation and IT modernization.
