Who You'll Work With

You will be based in the New York office. You will participate in the delivery of the holistic impact teardown to senior client team leaders such as partners & senior partners, along with our external clients. 

You will develop client-ready communications that highlight opportunities to drive holistic transformation discussions. You will coordinate with other module owners (Marketing & Sales, Strategy & Corporate Finance, McKinsey Transformations, People & Organizational Performance, Sustainability), synthesize findings, and develop full HIT document. You will help to systematize, improve, and radiate the approach for developing the holistic impact teardown. You will integrate 5 lenses of holistic impact into a single investment thesis for client with an emphasis on thesis. You will be expected to articulate the tangible actions the company should take to maximize shareholder value, specifically, operational actions that can hand-off to an executive with a PE owners mindset with a focus on impact, not niceties. You will collaborate with S&CF experts to ensure financial analyses are accurate and that operational levers are translated into financial impact and visa versa. You will lead quality control the analyses supporting the integrated thesis including underlying valuation model.

What You'll Do

Holistic Investment thesis (HIT) team is a firm strategic initiative co-led by Strategy & Corporate Finance (S&CF), McKinsey Transformations (MT) with contributions from Marketing & Sales (M&S), Sustainability, People & Organizational Performance, Operations and Digital and Analytics (DnA) practices. The HIT team aims to expand on firm introductory capabilities and analytic distinctiveness to add a short, clear and insightful articulation of what a client might do to drive holistic improvement in a company over an “investment horizon” of 2-4 years.

You will develop the holistic impact thesis for clients and prospective clients across a wide range of industries by leveraging firm’s Holistic Impact framework that covers 5 elements, i.e. financial and operational elements (shareholder value creation), capabilities, health and the workforce, customers, and social and environmental impact. You will learn to shape CEO-ready narrative that frames a company’s holistic value creation agenda. You will apprentice with senior S&CF along with MT leaders on how to translate narrative and agendas into actions at the client. You will live coach on influencing client team leaders and clients to take action (not just talk). You will apprentice in shark-tank approach where HIT Lead Integrator fully owns the thesis generation, impact lever sizing, backup analyses and overall document. You will have high visibility to firm leadership sponsoring HIT as top-3 firm strategic initiatives.
