What you'll do
You will work closely in small teams with McKinsey colleagues e.g. management consultants, functional experts, sector experts, agile coaches, business case experts, solution architects, as well as clients and system integrators to create value and accelerate delivery from S/4 HANA-based business transformations.
In this role, you will intervene at each step of the lifecycle of the business transformation. You will drive value identification at the sub-process level based on new functional capabilities of the S/4 HANA solution but also on best practices in operating model for the function in your scope of expertise.
During the implementation using our Agile ERP approach, you will be a leader and challenger in business process design or fit-gap sessions as well as advisor for complex functional deliverables of the system integrator such as organization structure, master data, configuration and customization choices. You will coach and challenge the testing strategy and execution, documentation, quality assurance and more along the way.
You will have the platform to leverage your expertise on analytic projects or on technology enabled business transformation where S/4 HANA or ECC is a key element.
You'll have the opportunity to manage project stream and progress autonomously including tracking metrics, handling complex analyses and preparing communications to report back to client and internal leadership.
You will have the opportunity to build best practice S/4HANA migration playbooks and create visible impact to share knowledge and capabilities within the McKinsey community.
You will be based in one of our European offices (Germany and Austria) as part of McKinsey Digital. This group 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 will join a global team working on everything from IT modernization and strategy to agile, cloud, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. You’ll typically work on projects across all industries and functions and will be fully integrated with the rest of our global firm.
You will also work with colleagues from across McKinsey & Company to help our clients deliver breakthrough products, experiences, and businesses, both on technology and non-technology topics.
Our office culture is casual and social, with an emphasis on education and innovation. We have the freedom to try new ideas, experiment and are expected to be constantly learning and growing. There is also a strong emphasis on mentoring others in the group, enabling them to grow and learn.
