Software Delivery Analyst - Wave
Job ID: 105992
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’ll join our Wave team, part of McKinsey Transformation, a global growth platform that helps organizations unlock their full potential through large-scale, holistic transformations. Wave equips clients with the tools to manage improvement programs and track the impact of initiatives against business goals, budgets, and timelines.
Based in Brussels, Madrid, or Cologne office, you’ll collaborate with colleagues across Europe, India, the US, and beyond, serving clients in the EMEA region, with a focus on either Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, or Southern Europe. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, including development, service delivery, management, and client development, to deliver exceptional results.
As a Software Delivery Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in driving successful client transformations. Your responsibilities will include leading collaborative workshops and sessions with clients and McKinsey colleagues and translating business needs into technical and functional requirements for the Wave solution. You will act as a trusted advisor on the McKinsey Transformation methodology to ensure a seamless onboarding experience for clients and build their capabilities to sustain impact.
In addition, you will manage project deliverables, design dashboards, and create tailored solutions to address specific client challenges. You will also serve as the client’s voice, providing feedback to our product team to enhance the Wave platform. Finally, you will contribute to operational improvements, develop new offerings, and drive innovation to continuously enhance the impact of our work.
Your role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, business, and transformation. You’ll gain exposure to diverse industries, collaborate with global teams, and make a tangible impact on clients’ success.
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. 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
- Master’s degree; MBA degree is a plus
- Experience in the field of IT, consulting and/or business intelligence is a plus
- Project management experience, ideally with large cloud implementation programs such as SaaS
- Experience in client service, project management and change management
- Strong solution-oriented mindset and problem-solving skills
- Independent self-management skills and ability to work autonomously or as part of a team
- Ability to manage multiple tasks or projects in parallel
- Entrepreneurial mindset, with comfort navigating ambiguity and taking calculated risks
- Willingness to travel occasionally (10-20%), with the flexibility to work in a hybrid model, balancing time between client sites, the office, and remote work as needed to support team and client collaboration
- Strong communications skills to facilitate discussions, deliver presentations and conduct training
- Fluency in English and German or Spanish, both written and verbal is required
