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 be a member of the Visual & Multimedia Storytelling leadership team and serve as the operating owner for the Reach and Engagement (R&E) multimedia ecosystem: podcasts, video, You Tube, multimedia publishing workflows, and related audience-development strategy.

You’ll work with colleagues to manage the development and publication of distinctive audio and video content across digital platforms, and to shape how that content is structured, prioritized, produced, packaged, distributed, measured, and governed.

You will directly manage a team of content creators who work closely with editors and subject-matter experts, including firm senior partners, to create engaging, informative podcasts and videos for external publication, as well as other multimedia projects as needed. You’ll combine editorial judgment, production coordination, audience growth, analytics, stakeholder management, and process design to take a data-driven approach to scaling McKinsey thought leadership through high-quality multimedia storytelling.

You’ll act as a thought partner (e.g., editor, operating lead) and oversee a small team of video and podcast creators. You’ll review and edit content that rigorously follows conventions of written English and ensure consistency of voice, tone, and style-as well as alignment with firm guidelines, working with stakeholders to discuss and develop changes.

You’ll own the direction of the firm’s multimedia (podcasts, video) portfolio, including management of all related people, platforms (, Omny, You Tube), and channels. You will rationalize the portfolio to meet the firm’s evolving audience-development goals, and concentrate resources on fewer, higher-impact series that offer clearer audience pathways, stronger editorial consistency, and better return on investment. You will own the execution of a deliberate You Tube strategy, with input from R&E colleagues, so that the firm’s channel is clear in its prioritization of content and optimized for audience growth.

You’ll oversee the operation and continuous improvement of McKinsey’s multimedia ecosystem, coordinating podcast and video production, distribution, and editorial planning across channels. Using audience analytics, market developments, and firm priorities, you’ll make recommendations about programming, portfolio strategy, and audience growth. You’ll also define and maintain the multimedia operating model, including workflows, documentation, governance, editorial standards, key performance indicators, decision rights, and content-placement criteria, providing clear direction for how multimedia content is produced, managed, measured, and scaled.

You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
