Physician Specialist - Social, Healthcare and Public Entities
Job ID: 103820

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.

Your Impact
You will participate in client engagements focused on healthcare value, including the development of clinical policy improvement solutions and innovative payment models with the goal of making healthcare better, more affordable, and more accessible for millions of people around the world. In this role, you will participate in and, in some cases, lead the development of recommendations and advise teams on evidence-based medicine, clinical practice, and healthcare policies. You will also represent the Clinical and Risk Excellence (CARE) team, together with other senior McKinsey colleagues, in public-facing forums including conferences and expert panels and engage in authorship of the Healthcare Practice's related articles for peer-review and other external publications. You'll work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement. This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating, and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You'll also present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. You will serve on client project teams alongside traditional consultants, gaining broad exposure to health care businesses and business problems. You will receive extensive day-to-day mentorship and apprenticeship from senior consultants. The Social, Healthcare and Public Entities (SHaPE) Practice is one of 10 industry practices within the firm and has a mission of measurably improving individuals' lives, livelihoods and health and creating safer and more just communities around the world. SHaPE serves governments, donors, healthcare payors/providers and non-governmental organizations on topics including health, public finance, education, defense, economic development and beyond. Specifically, this role will be within McKinsey's CARE Domain which aims to deepen impact and rigor of our analytics and client service with clinical experience and intelligence and transform lives by creating new capabilities to enable value-based care. You will be working with McKinsey data scientists, engineers, clinician leaders and client teams who are bringing solutions and capabilities for stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. McKinsey's Social, Healthcare and Public Entities Practice fosters innovation driven by advanced analytics, user experience design thinking, predictive forecasting, and new product development. We are a community of entrepreneurs within McKinsey dedicated to using technology to accelerate meaningful impact for our clients. Through self-service access to analytics and data, software as a service solution, strategic acquisitions, and a vibrant ecosystem of alliances, we are redefining what it means to work with McKinsey. Our capabilities are foundational to multiple high-profile initiatives and have been core to the practice in delivering organization wide transformation programs for payors (public and private) and providers. The team has grown to 300+ colleagues globally over the last four years. It is a unique mix of healthcare experts, physicians, statisticians, engineers, data scientists, and more.

Your Growth
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. 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 possible outcomes.
• Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm's diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

• Clinician (e.g., MD/DO/RN) degree and clinical experience required.
• Experience in nephrology, women's health, or oncology strongly preferred
