You will be responsible for ensuring that the firm’s ESG-diligence process is industry leading and aligned to global frameworks like the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and new regulations such as The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG).

You will provide deep expertise and act as a thought partner to senior leaders around the firm on supplier ESG risk, compliance and reporting topics, trends, risks and opportunities. You will provide expert guidance to navigate and resolve highly complex and sensitive escalation issues involving ESG topics and suppliers.

You will partner closely and effectively with leadership across functions, including Optimize, social responsibility, risk, compliance, legal and the ESG human rights working group to align on and execute supplier-related ESG and risk reporting (regulatory, voluntary and internal).

You will lead ESG and risk related policy updates, training and reporting, including: (a) updating Optimize-owned policies annually to expand responsible buying at McKinsey; (b) collaborating with risk and compliance teams on firm reports to highlight supplier- and procurement-related ESG and risk topics; and (c) working with firm learning teams to create and implement training programs for Optimize and firm colleagues on ESG and other risk topics.

You will collaborate with data analysts to provide data and drive insights for both day-to-day data support of the broader Supplier Risk & Social Responsibility team as well as data to support ESG and Risk reporting. You will lead an existing team of experts and expand a team over time to advance vision, strategy, goals and above responsibilities.
