WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
You will be based in our Gurugram, or Bengaluru office as a core member of the Design & Innovation team. You will be part of a global team that is distributed across Boston, New York, New Delhi and Prague.
The Design & Innovation team is responsible for using user-centered methods to inform the development and delivery of technology-enabled products and services used across the firm. This work ensures that we create experiences that make the work of our colleagues faster, easier and more effective and that we incubate new ways of working that will move the firm forward.
Working within the Technology function at McKinsey & Company, we are developing the tools to power the next generation of management consulting. Here, we do not accept our esteemed organization’s past success, but challenge it, as we utilize design thinking and digital technologies to create new ways of working that will define the future of how McKinsey delivers professional services.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You will contribute to all aspects of the product development lifecycle, from research and ideation through to detailed design and delivery.
You will collaborate closely with product managers, developers and other disciplines to identify what will be most critical to the success of a product, what it should feel like to interact with a product or service across multiple touchpoints and to define how we bring that experience into reality.
In this work, you will actively look for opportunities to apply new tools and technologies that can help enrich the capabilities the firm provides to our colleagues to do their work. You will also have the opportunity to be an advocate and coach for design thinking, helping others in the firm develop their knowledge, skills and capabilities in the use of empathetic, inventive and iterative methods for product development.
