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.
