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:

The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.

What you'll do
Working collaboratively with our clients—often on-site with their engineering groups and management—you will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and define new organizational structures, roles, and processes.
You will join our Madrid office as part of our Manufacturing and Supply Chain (MSC) Solutions group, a component of McKinsey’s Operations practice that focuses on deeply tech-enabling our client service. Supported by a global network of Supply Chain Management (SCM) Connections, you will spend a significant part of your time solving complex, cross-industry client problems in the Supply Chain domain, specializing in digital Supply Chain Planning.
Your key technical responsibility will be to design and deploy solution architectures for chosen technology platforms (e.g., Kinaxis, o9, SAP IBP, Blue Yonder, Anaplan, etc.), facilitating the integration of advanced planning solutions with clients' legacy systems. Beyond third-party software, MSC Solutions comprises an ecosystem of customizable, web-based digital tools that turbocharge McKinsey diagnostics and help clients digitize their production environments. During this process, you will further enhance our open-source technology, allowing groups to capitalize on existing modules and pre-built benchmarking infrastructure.
In our exciting collaborative culture, you will ensure we bring tangible, lasting impact to our clients by developing these tailor-made solutions. Additionally, you will work closely with internal product development teams and colleagues globally to optimize our capabilities, share your expertise, and expand the collective firm's knowledge base regarding supply chain technology—ultimately helping to create new, innovative offerings to deploy to our clients.
In addition to working with 3rd party software providers such as Kinaxis, o9, SAP, Blue Yonder, Anaplan etc., MSC Solutions also comprises an ecosystem of customizable, web-based digital tools that turbocharge McKinsey diagnostics while serving as a platform on which clients can digitize their plants and production environments to improve performance.
You will work directly with our clients and McKinsey colleagues to deploy our digital capabilities and ensure we bring tangible, lasting impact to clients. Our client project teams work with major global organizations across multiple industries to solve their most challenging problems.

Additionally, you will work with internal product development teams to ensure we optimize our capabilities and constantly innovate.
