Who You'll Work With
You will join our London office for 10 weeks as part of McKinsey Design.
McKinsey Design drives client growth by delivering breakthrough physical and digital products, customer experiences, and design-led innovation. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, combining out-of-the-box creativity with the analytical rigor of McKinsey to innovate at scale and speed across private, public and social sectors. Our highly-skilled, cross-functional team of designers, business strategists and agile developers deliver service concepts, experiential prototypes and go-to-market products to transform clients' businesses.
Our Design team offers the breadth and experiences of 350+ world-class design talent from Lunar Design, Veryday and McKinsey's homegrown experience design practice. At McKinsey Design, we bring a diverse community of designers and innovators passionate about getting in the midst of our customers and elevating design capabilities to the forefront of business decisions, impact and results, to ultimately create change that matters.
We help designers find their professional home in a nurturing studio culture, while providing access to industry leading experts and knowledge resources, as well as motivated and talented colleagues who are committed to driving sustainable change. Our unique studio culture is casual and social, with an emphasis on knowledge building and innovation. We have the freedom to experiment, work iteratively, and are constantly learning and growing. Our community emphasizes the importance of mentorship, collaboration and propelling the value of good design.
What You'll Do
You will apply the human centered design approach on a variety of projects that integrate digital designs into products, services and environments.
You will be part of a cross-functional team and will be involved in all aspects of the design process including strategy, research and UX design. You will travel weekly or semi-weekly to the client site, gaining direct mentorship from senior members of our design team as well as from experts across data science, agile, engineering and IoT.
Moving from insights to ideas, you will creatively solve complex problems, threading design and business thinking together to deliver inventive, durable and thoughtful solutions from concept to launch. You will apply conceptual thinking to create desirable and feasible digital solutions across multiple platforms while smartly bringing together user needs, business goals and technical realities. You will utilize industry design standards and best practices to define and implement design criteria. You will apply user centered design methodologies to ensure your ideas are based on customer needs. You will prepare research and testing, produce personas, map customer journeys and develop service blueprints for complex products and services.
You will be fully immersed in the convergence of design, human behavior, business and technology, and you will be part of a team that is truly transformative in the way it thinks, acts and impacts our clients.
