Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

You will work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.

This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations to leadership. The Strategy and Corporate Finance Practice at McKinsey help companies and organizations make smart financial decisions around investing and growth across all industries and sectors.

As a Business Analyst within the Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice, you will be responsible for bringing valuation principles and strategic thinking to each client’s situation. This includes developing frameworks to analyze business problems using qualitative and quantitative approaches, working on financial benchmarking and business modeling to provide fact-based rationale for client’s strategic choices across organic and inorganic upside opportunities.

Your work will also involve conducting extensive due diligence work, which may include collecting historical deal-related information, developing and executing a comprehensive work plan, reviewing contracts and policies, analyzing data, identifying risks, conducting competitor analysis, financial analysis, and valuation, and gathering a comprehensive set of data.

During your first few years with the firm, you will consult on multiple client engagements and work with several colleagues and clients across a range of industry areas.

You are joining a firm that will invest in your professional development. McKinsey believes in strengths-based development and coaching, and you will receive mentoring from colleagues. This will include a senior colleague from your office or practice who will help you grow and achieve your career goals. Additionally, you will have a professional development manager who manages your staffing based on your priorities as well as the needs of client service teams.

You will join our Strategy & Corporate Finance practice in our New York office to work in teams and directly with our clients to help solve some of their most difficult problems. You will also work with a range of experts in the firm, from data scientists and researchers to software and Application designers.

Our Strategy & Corporate Finance practice works on engagements across industries, advising clients on top-management level issues including corporate strategy and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances, business due diligence, value-based management, and strategy in IPO situations.

We provide expert advice on financial and strategic issues, helping clients make informed decisions in high-stakes situations. Our broader practice advising CEOs and CFOs shape their strategy agendas. We are dedicated to helping businesses navigate the complex market landscape and achieve their goals.

YOUR GROWTH

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture – doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

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. Every day, you’ll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.

You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
