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.

You will be part of the global Life Sciences Intelligence (LSi) Team as an Analyst – focused on Market Access, based in Boston, New York, New Jersey or Washington DC.

McKinsey started serving life science clients back in the 1940s. Since then, the Life Sciences (LS) Practice has grown to be the second largest industry focused group in the firm, with nearly 1600 practitioners globally. The LSi team consists of over 100 professionals across analytics, knowledge, and capability and insights.

The team sits in a variety of global locations. Each member of this team is aligned to a set of domains (or topic areas) where they have an opportunity to deepen their expertise and serve clients as well as our client service teams. For this particular role, you will be working with colleagues in our market access domain and serving clients on topics such as access strategy at launch, pricing strategy, contracting analytics, gross‑to‑net optimization, channel strategy, capability building, organizational design, patient access & affordability, and evolution of US healthcare policy and its impact across the value chain.

You will collaborate in small teams, actively contributing to all aspects of client engagements, including gathering and analyzing data, testing hypotheses, and delivering actionable recommendations. You’ll present findings to clients, implement solutions alongside their teams, and apply your industry expertise to address complex challenges.

In this role, you’ll develop industry insights, stay updated on trends, and create innovative tools and solutions to enhance client impact. Leveraging advanced analytics, proprietary tools, and cutting‑edge data, you will uncover opportunities and deliver results through written reports, numerical analyses, and presentations.

We believe the Life Sciences team has exciting years ahead. We plan to expand our service offering to internal and external clients, to meaningfully develop and advance our portfolio of proprietary analytical and knowledge assets, and to play a bigger role in externalizing our knowledge and broadening our networks.

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 – 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.

When you join us, you will have:

• Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast‑paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best…
