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
We are looking for a Senior Product Analyst with product/service/project/program management and software development experience, to drive impact through discovery, translating technical concepts into product requirements to ensure delivery and rollout of features that solve critical user needs. With help of other team members and teams, you will support the product vision and roadmap and contribute to driving the success of our generative AI (gen AI) initiatives.
You’ll be a member of a global team working on a prioritized gen AI initiative, based in one of our European offices: Prague or Lisbon. Our McKinsey’s Tech Ecosystem function is responsible for developing and delivering all technology solutions for the firm’s internal use.
You’ll help drive the success of a gen AI product that has company-wide impact. As part of the product team you will sit at business side and work closely with tech to ensure the right things are built and work with supporting teams so that impact is maximized.
As a Senior Product Analyst, you will implement the product vision and roadmap, regularly groom the backlog and write user stories. Collaborating with development and data science teams, you will refine these stories and evolve the solution, support conducting agile ceremonies.
Engaging with users for feedback and user research will be essential to enhancing user experience as well as leveraging data and user insights to turn into product strategy and requirements together in collaboration with a senior product manager.
You will support the definition, execution, and rollout and monitoring of a subset of features in one domain, in close collaboration with the principal product manager, designers, and engineers, analytics teams as well as our adoption team. You will anticipate opportunities and challenges, guiding the team and leadership in addressing them proactively.
Your role includes supporting gathering of business requirements, leading agile development, and support managing backlog grooming and prioritization. You’ll work with technical teams on a daily basis on the development of necessary features. A technical understanding of AI and ML products is preferred.
Prototyping, testing, and visualizing product features with designers will be part of your daily tasks. Ensuring that each feature meets its acceptance criteria will be a key responsibility, driving the success of our generative AI initiatives. You’ll support more senior product managers on your team with a variety of tasks under their guidance.
Your Growth
You’ll work with the Lilli team focused on our internal firm generative AI initiatives. Lilli is McKinsey’s leading generative AI tool & platform for employees. Our team is distributed across multiple locations, including offices in North America and Europe.
The Lilli team is dedicated to advancing the capabilities and applications of generative AI within our firm, driving innovation, and delivering impactful AI solutions.
