Your Impact

McKinsey & Company is looking to hire an experienced professional into our Finance Insights Team (FIT).

This is an internal, non-client-facing role, though FIT manages itself using the same leading-edge approaches, tools, techniques, and processes that we bring to our clients. FIT is responsible for leveraging and disseminating performance management reports and tools, digitized in most cases, as a means to identify action-oriented growth opportunities, prioritization, leakage and Opex management to name a few. FIT team members aspire to engage as business partners to various stakeholders including cell leaders, Finance leadership and functional managers leading and/or playing integral roles in planning, forecasting, analyzing of key economic drivers, cost redesign, action-oriented management analysis and various other high-profile special projects to support senior leadership decision-making.

In this role, you’ll identify insights and trends from performance management reports to provide concise synthesis and commentary and assist in follow-on ad hoc data analysis as required. By default, you will leverage and disseminate from a suite of digital offerings when engaged in performance management, forecasting, financial and variance analysis, KPIs or ad-hoc requests, while creatively leveraging the firm’s data warehouse (SAP/SAC) as needed. You will play an integral part in the firms annual planning process including staff size/headcount, Opex, pricing, utilization and client hours growth to name a few. You will engage with cell leaders, working to provide recommendations that help achieve their goals, while being an active and engaged contributor to the broader global FIT community.
