Digital Associate – McKinsey Digital

Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day?
If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.

As an Associate with McKinsey Digital, you will join a client service team and take ownership of a workstream to solve some of the toughest challenges our clients face. Your clients aren’t just any clients—they are some of the most influential organizations, from Fortune 500 giants to innovative startups. You and your team will go the extra mile, delivering solutions that solve immediate problems and drive long‑term change.

We’ll rely on your judgment and integrity to ensure our recommendations are effective and long lasting. You will take on a role that goes beyond advising. You’ll be at the heart of the action—helping uncover the true challenges behind a client’s strategy and creating actionable plans that drive real change. Working alongside clients and other McKinsey colleagues, you’ll combine research, data analysis, interviews, and brainstorming to generate fresh insights and breakthrough solutions.

Your commitment to our values will be crucial in earning our clients’ trust and delivering results that matter. As you collaborate directly with clients, you’ll help them deliver breakthrough products, experiences, and business on technology and non‑technology topics, solve problems, refine strategies, and implement transformations. By equipping them with the tools and knowledge to continue innovating and improving after we leave, you’ll ensure the lasting impact of our work.

Driving lasting impact and building long‑term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You thrive 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.
