Your Impact
You will be part of the Source AI team and will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the domain/function.
Source AI is a Gen AI fueled strategic category management platform within the Operations practice. It combines internal and external data with McKinsey’s functional and technological industrial expertise to empower category managers to make informed real-time decisions and unlock new opportunities.

You will work closely with consultants and senior leaders serving clients in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
As a Data Engineer in Source AI you will have deep expertise in Snowflake and modern data architecture, hands on experience building high-performance data pipelines, ensuring data quality, managing migrations, and handling multiple Snowflake environments in a secure and efficient manner. This is a key role to scale our data ecosystem across domains and geographies.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the platform, ensuring seamless client deployment and continuous upgradation of functionalities, as per client demands. You will lead the analyses on key spending categories to identify opportunities through solutions and work with the practice leaders and experts in different regions to continuously build a solution with new functionalities and knowledge.
