Business Analyst Intern
Job ID: 15275

Are you driven by the opportunity to tackle complex challenges and work alongside top leaders? Do you want to be part of a team that delivers outcomes that others simply can't? If so, you've come to the right place.

Who You'll Work With

You will join one of our offices around the world for ~10 weeks, usually in the summer, to work in teams and directly with our clients.

In this role, you will help our clients in the private, public, and social sectors solve some their most pressing problems. You will also work with a range of experts in the firm, from data scientists to researchers to software and app designers.

Your impact within our firm

You'll work in teams of typically 3 - 5 consultants, to identify, and oftentimes implement, potential solutions for a specific client problem or challenge. Together, you will help clients make lasting improvements to their performance and realize their most important goals.

Over the course of each project, you will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations. You'll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. Some examples of the specific work may include interviewing clients, leading client teams, building financial models, and working with McKinsey subject experts to develop perspectives and insights for the client. Depending on your area of focus or client needs, you will be asked to travel to your client site.

When you join McKinsey, you are joining a firm whose culture is distinctive and inclusive. We will accelerate your development as a leader to create positive, enduring change in the world. As a business analyst intern, you will receive training and coaching on how to better:

• Structure ambiguous problems and take action to solve them
• Use data, facts, and logical reasoning to make rational decisions
• Comprehend content (e.g., email, articles, spreadsheets) and synthesize into a clear and communicable format (either written or verbally)
• Work effectively with diverse teams to come up with the best solution and move people and organizations to act
• Establish trust-based relationships with clients to better serve their organizations
• Communicate effectively with all audiences, including senior leaders, in a structured manner
• Develop your leadership style, leveraging your own passions, strengths, and personal values

McKinsey believes in strengths-based development and coaching, and you'll receive frequent mentoring from colleagues. This will include a senior colleague from your office or practice who will help you grow and achieve your career goals. Additionally, you will have a professional development manager who manages staffing to help you choose projects based on your priorities as well as the needs of client service teams.
