Job ID: 102410
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 responsible for 1-3 consulting projects and will serve as a key contact for our clients. You will ensure the quality of project work and mentor your project staff.
With your management expertise, you will support our clients in developing their strategic objectives.
You will work alongside public-sector and healthcare client leaders and other McKinsey teams to design and implement innovative solutions.
You will also take a key role in helping to build across all the elements of a new high-growth environment: creating the culture, recruiting, and training staff, creating compelling market propositions, building your personal and professional expertise and credibility in the market, and cultivating trusted client relationships.
You will be based in our Tokyo office and become a part of Social, Healthcare and Public Entities (SHaPE) practice.
We help Public Sector & Healthcare clients address topics such as organizational development, process optimization, digitization, project and change management and implementation. You can expect a uniquely varied and exciting working environment, as well as the opportunity to work with a talented and dynamically growing team.
You will be working closely and in partnership with our clients' senior management and their specialist departments. You will join and lead a team passionate about impact, combining strategic and operational project management with strong execution skills.
Your Growth
Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
When you join us, you will have:
- Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
- Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
Your qualifications and skills
- 8+ years of experience in project delivery in consulting; preferably on the delivery of large-scale projects in the public and healthcare sectors, ideally involving a major digital/agile transformation
- Strong experience leading project teams, coaching and developing staff and delivering high client satisfaction, while supporting organizations undergoing complex transformations
- Excellent client development experience, including preparation of proposal documents and attending pitch presentations
- Excellent analytical and conceptual skills, combined with entrepreneurial spirit, dedication, and creativity
