Who You'll Work With

You will work based out of the McKinsey Office in London. Within our Life Sciences practice, you’ll be part of our team’s global LS Intelligence team which consists of around 100+ professionals across analytics, knowledge, and capability and insights.
You would be involved in transforming drug discovery and development processes with data science, designing analytical and digital solutions through machine learning.
You will be central to our client development, client service, and knowledge management for the unit. You will work closely with the practice leadership to advance the strategic priorities of the practice.

What You'll Do

As part of the Life Sciences team, the key responsibilities are as follows:

It is envisioned that this would represent ~50% of the role.
Expert client service team and client development support - You will provide expert support to client service teams, particularly in the early stages of engagements as team members are getting up to speed on the IT-enablement issues and deploying our tools. You would also be an interface in some instances between the client service team and Life Science management. This should represent roughly ~40% of the role.
Service line facilitation - You will facilitate the ongoing development of knowledge and capabilities in service line areas, helping to shape and prioritize the knowledge agenda, develop training curriculum for new associates, overseeing knowledge management tools and systems, and facilitating regular meetings and calls with the relevant practitioners. This should represent ~10% of the role.
