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.

What you'll do
You will be at the core of bridging client business challenges with the capabilities of our Solutions.
You will work with client representatives, McKinsey consultants, your Velox project lead and a senior Net Working Capital (NWC) expert throughout client engagements, on activities ranging from data collection and analyses, client interviews and problem-solving sessions, end deliverable creation, and much more.
You will also drive the process of converting raw client data sources into enriched dashboards to deliver insights related to the business challenges at stake.
You will diligently own the data management, analytics and visualization of our client engagements, and translate insights into impact through patter recognition, expertise and client coaching: accompany clients in their use of the solution to drive sustainable and high impact.
You will be involved in McKinsey consultant’s and client’s capability building. You will co-shape the solution – we are always improving, deepening and extending our value proposition to become better impact partners.
You will be expected to grasp the opportunity to take on solution development initiatives in the areas you are excited by (e.g. client development, solution delivery excellence, product development, etc.
Velox is a McKinsey Transformation solution and you will be in our office in San José, Costa Rica.
McKinsey Transformation (MT) is a practice that delivers a proven approach for transformational change to clients seeking radical and sustainable performance improvement. Over the last several years, we have worked with hundreds of organizations around the world and across sectors. Most of our clients are driven by a desire to capture untapped potential; others face significant external challenges or industry discontinuities.
NWC is a high impact component of many of those transformation programs around the world. We are taking it to the next level with Velox, which provides an end-to-end solution to help McKinsey Transformation (and non-MT) clients drive cash improvements in NWC.
You'll work with a variety of colleagues (McKinsey consultants, product development, service delivery, leadership, client development). They will be based in different offices across Europe, India, US and beyond; as are the clients you will be serving.
