WHAT YOU'LL DO

You will be responsible for delivering high quality human-centered solutions.

In this role, your primary focus will be on a great variety of digital business building projects, helping clients to rapidly imagine, build and scale game-changing offerings from the ground up and develop their capabilities to do it again and again.

You'll work on diverse, cross-functional teams, hand in hand with the client and tackle all aspects of the design and business building process often through leading interactive workshops and concepts sprints. You'll leverage your broad palette of design capabilities to prototype and iterate on UX/UI design – including sketching, information architecture, wireframes and user flows. You will lead usability testing sessions, synthesize findings and iteratively integrate them into design solutions. You'll think creatively and strategically, dissecting business problems and using design methodologies to develop innovative outcomes that communicate the product vision. You will ensure that design specifications are implemented. You will also strengthen your client's capabilities through coaching and sharing of design best practices.

You'll have a platform to build mentor and mentee relationships and contribute to our community culture at McKinsey Design. Your experience will be multi-disciplinary, working side by side with designers, engineers, business strategists and clients. You will be fully immersed in the convergence of design, human behaviour, business and technology, and you will be part of a team that is truly transformative in the way it thinks, acts and impacts our clients.
