Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place.
Who You'll Work With
You’ll join the McKinsey Digital team in our Cairo, Doha or Riyadh office to help enterprises think strategically about how to leverage technology to create fundamental business change – from formulating tech-driven growth strategies to enabling more efficient operations through the use of technology.
As part of this group, you will join a global team working on everything from IT modernization and strategy to agile, cloud, cybersecurity and digital transformation. You will also work with colleagues from across McKinsey & Company to help our clients deliver breakthrough products, experiences and businesses, both on technology and non-technology topics. You will work with clients in a wide range of sectors and industries. Some McKinsey digital consultants work exclusively within digital while others mix their digital focus with broader consulting work (e.g., operations, organization, strategy, corporate finance, marketing and sales, etc.).
Your impact within our firm
You will work with C-suite executives in problem-solving on their key issues and provide actionable recommendations leveraging your technology know-how and business sense.
You will play an active role in all aspects of a client project, typically working in teams of 3 to 5 consultants alongside experts and partners of all tenures including developers, designers, data engineers, agile coaches and others. This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations for client presentations. You will also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.
You will also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. As a consultant, you will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues.

Client Service Essential Functions
There are a core set of essential functions that all client service colleagues must be able to perform, with or without reasonable accommodations. Where applicable, McKinsey will provide eligible colleagues with reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform an essential function, but generally will not eliminate an essential function. The essential functions for all client service colleagues are:

Structure and organize ambiguous problems, tasks, and information, and be able to act independently.
Create and execute complex project plans with clear goals and expected outcomes.
Use data, facts, and logical reasoning to make rational decisions against tight timelines.
Comprehend content (e.g., email, articles, spreadsheets) and synthesize into a clear and communicable format (either written or verbally).
Develop work product-focused materials / outputs, which may include PowerPoint decks, Excel models, articles, or other written deliverables.
