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 work in our McKinsey Client Capability Network (CCN) in Costa Rica, as a part of the Banking team within the Panorama Financial Institutions and Insights consulting (PFIC).

Over time, you will be expected to develop expertise within the topic of banking and contribute to broader knowledge development and proprietary assets. Additionally, you will be an active member of the global PFIC community and develop relationships around the globe to build on your knowledge and provide support to the broader network as needed.
