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.

You will lead firm and cell-level initiatives to scale our service in scientific AI and continuously improve the productivity & impact of our service line.You will work as a member of McKinsey’s global scientific AI team to transform the way our clients do research and development in industries where scientific innovation is core to value creation: Life Sciences, Specialty Chemicals, Global Energy and Materials, Agriculture, Advanced Industries, and Sustainability. With your expertise at the intersection of protein engineering, computational chemistry, or a similar field, and artificial intelligence / machine learning (i.e., deep learning, foundation models, Bayesian modelling, and causal inference), you will help build and lead McKinsey’s forward-looking capabilities to transform clients’ innovation engines.Your core responsibilities will include but not be limited to; delivery of distinctive capabilities, knowledge, and insights through your work with client service teams and clients; technical and scientific leadership in the creation & dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge and proprietary assets; and elevation of the firm’s reputation in your area of expertise.
