Who You'll Work With

You will be based in our Pakistan office as part of McKinsey Digital.

McKinsey Digital 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 will 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.

In this role, you will be a core member of the McKinsey consulting team with responsibilities that range from shaping product vision, strategic designs to managing and transforming agile product and leadership teams. 

You will engage with some of the most challenging business problems facing our clients. These projects can range from rapid process re-inventions at leading financial institutions and ‘big data’ analytics at large scale retail organizations, to consumer facing app development for traditional industries. In each situation, as a product owner, you will be at the center of the problem solving, advising our most senior clients on how to successfully execute their strategic vision with digital means.

You will collaborate with consultants in product, process and technology. Your client project work will typically lie at the intersection of business strategy and client and implementation vendors. You will be responsible for translating abstract visions into reality, while managing client expectations as well as vendor efficiency. You will also be proficient in all aspects of the agile deliverables required for a technology team to build beautiful products. This will include hands-on development of storyboards, wireframes, product prioritization, backlog, user stories, product KPI, monitoring/tracking and commercialization.
