Who you'll work with
Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
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. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
When you join us, you will have:
- Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- 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.
What you'll do
You'll manage projects including tracking metrics, handling complex analyses and preparing communications to report back to clients and internal leadership.
You'll develop practical recommendations and contribute to team discussions on implications of analysis, identifying implementation challenges.
You'll work alongside the client’s staff on each project, assisting with different work streams. This could include facilitating working sessions with front-line and supervisors, connecting and motivating the client team or developing skills of McKinsey or client team members when appropriate, principally through coaching. You'll also solicit feedback from team members to develop your own skills.
You’ll be based in Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen and will work as part of McKinsey’s Lanyue. The mission of this group is to help business leaders build transformative businesses, including new business prototyping and launching, business transformation, etc. Lanyue works with companies that are facing critical transformative moments and need executional and operational level assistance, including but not limited to MNCs, conglomerates as well as segment leaders.
Working at Lanyue means career acceleration, entrepreneurship, and professional development. Your ability to lead through change and to obtain measurable results within a team are skills that are very much in demand and therefore valued. Lanyue acts as an exceptional “transformation academy” given the diversity and the level of issues at stake of interventions. Experience in Lanyue will cultivate central capabilities and accelerate career development in an operational executive’s role. Lanyue combines the advantages of a “start-up” - light hierarchy, autonomy, freedom of expression and initiative – and those of a large group – available resources to develop one’s projects.
