Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

You will be part of the Global Purchasing team, whose goal is to preserve value and mitigate risk by designing and operating colleague-centric third-party channels that incorporate the required level of control to protect the firm from risk while ensuring that colleagues can easily follow the digital process.

In this role, you will lead the design and execution of initiatives focused on process re-engineering, technology adoption, and change management aimed at enhancing control and compliance across third-party orders and financial transactions.

You will design new third-party transactions channels by assessing current processes and identifying gaps and challenges; and manage risk by ensuring proper controls and responsible practices (including considerations for ESG) are embedded in the financial transaction channel.

You will lead a cross-functional effort to implement newly designed financial transactions channels, establishing a No Control – No Pay policy by partnering with purchasing operations, third-party risk, adoption & performance, and solutions teams, and, encompassing both process and system enhancements. This work includes assessing and redesigning current control and payment processes, incorporating critical controls that enable responsible practices, and driving third party transactions through preferred channels in collaboration with other departments.

You’ll have the opportunity to gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. In this high-profile role, you will be exposed to senior firm leadership and expected to collaborate closely outside of Optimize with firm, finance, and other functional leadership, delivering significant impact for the firm.

You will potentially build and oversee a team to achieve performance of these responsibilities.

Your Growth

You will work in the Atlanta, Miramar or Costa Rica office using the hybrid model. Optimize is the global third-party management capability of the firm, enhancing and protecting the firm’s resources and reputation by making responsible buying easy and creating leading solutions and experiences across our supplier ecosystem.

In this role, you’ll be part of the Purchasing Team and will work with leaders and colleagues across Optimize – and stakeholders across the firm (e.g., finance, office services) – as you shape, support, and deliver on McKinsey’s purchasing expansion strategy. You will work closely with colleagues across the purchasing team, as well as Optimize category and capability initiative owners to create and execute strategies to expand firm’s global digital transaction channels capabilities.

Bachelor’s/university degree required; advanced degree preferred
7+ years relevant experience or equivalent consulting experience
Deep subject matter expertise in the field of process re-engineering and optimization
Understanding of the modern procure-to-pay operations and associated challenges
Excellent organizational, planning, prioritization, and project management skills with demonstrated impact
