Research Science Analyst - Strategy and Corporate Finance - McKinsey Value Intelligence Platform

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.

You will support the delivery of longer-term projects and shorter-term needs for data analysis from our corporate finance experts and client delivery teams. This may include but is not limited to: experimental testing with new large language models (LLMs), structuring and implementing proof of concepts, enhancing existing functionality through new analytical approaches, and helping design end-to-end solutions alongside our engineers. You will be involved in analyzing large and complex data sets to uncover patterns, trends, and actionable insights using generative artificial intelligence techniques.

You will develop and implement AI models, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing algorithms, tailored to address client-specific challenges. Additionally, you may design, test, and deploy scalable AI solutions in production environments. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as consultants and industry experts, is essential to understand client needs and deliver impactful AI‑driven solutions. Effective communication of findings and insights to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders is a key aspect of the role.

Staying current with advancements in AI, machine learning, and deep learning, and applying these innovations to client projects and product development initiatives, is expected. Furthermore, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of AI infrastructure and tools to support ongoing projects and initiatives. You'll be based in Atlanta, Boston or Dallas and will be working with our Strategy and Corporate Finance practice.

You will be a part of the McKinsey Value Intelligence Platform, which is a cornerstone data and insights platform for the firm, supporting client delivery teams and clients with expert insights on companies and industries. You will work closely with other data scientists, engineers, designers, and product managers and report directly to the Asset Leader within the practice. You will be responsible for performing domain research, data extraction, data transformation, data analytics and/or advanced analytics for asset design and development.

You will support the asset team in advancing the team’s product offerings by improving actionable insights via new AI capabilities to better serve our client delivery teams. You will foster strong partnerships and collaborate regularly with the product and engineering team, practice experts, and firm stakeholders (e.g., Risk, Legal). You will collaborate closely with these teams to align on strategic direction and ensure a coordinated approach.

Driving lasting impact and building long‑term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high‑performance/high‑reward culture – doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward. In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible.

Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
