If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.
Your Impact
You will join a group of communications professionals within the firm's Reach and Engagement function. These colleagues help ensure that appropriate insights reach designated audiences, building awareness and engagement with McKinsey's distinctive knowledge on a variety of topics. They shape the way the firm connects with people-from clients to employees to alumni-strengthening institutional relationships, connections, and affiliations.
Through partnership with senior leaders and stakeholders across communications initiatives, you will serve as a leader to your team and will drive the development and execution of best-in-class global communications programs, events, and publications.
You will support global and regional leaders across the Leap by McKinsey practice and be a senior member of the Winning With Technology Powerhouse leadership team. At McKinsey, we know how to design, build, and scale business - leveraging our distinct generative AI platform to help clients turn a seed of potential into true, outsized growth. Having built over 700+ businesses, we work closely with all sectors and functional leaders across the firm to build and scale various types of new businesses.
You will proactively shape creative communications strategies to showcase McKinsey's knowledge and assets, maintain the firm's reputation, and bring campaigns to life in Leap by McKinsey.
In terms of creating effective communications: you will drive high-quality writing and editing by leading/enabling teams to develop clear, structured and engaging written communications that rigorously follow conventions of written English. With cell leaders, you will manage the firm's reputational risk by mapping strengths/weaknesses and handling opportunities/threats. You will anticipate, identify, and respond to reputational risk issues to protect and enhance McKinsey's reputation by reviewing materials and proactively shaping the narrative. You'll conduct strategic communications to support prioritization of communication campaigns and events (e.g., competitor insights, event speaker research), and collate them into digestible formats for leadership. You will be expected to establish high-quality and consistent branding (i.e., firm's signature voice, visuals, and narrative) across communications platforms and channels in support of relevant brand pivots.
In terms of project management and creation: you will define and direct appropriate strategic communications objectives and strategies to achieve them, help radiate priorities and important topics across existing channels, and ensure appropriate positioning with key stakeholders. You will manage development and dissemination of external and/or internal websites and publications, and contact databases to maximize engagement. You'll develop and execute reputation-building programs through a mix of publishing activities (e.g., monitoring of media relations and public relations, targeted knowledge dissemination). You will advise and counsel partners in developing networking programs to strengthen relationships with clients, potential clients, and media. You will identify, secure, and manage appropriate partnerships with internal or external stakeholders, building a network of key editors, journalists, policymakers, senior executives, and academics. You will develop corresponding metrics to measure impact of communications strategies and help implement collection/reporting mechanisms. As a people leader, you will coach and support the immediate team and junior colleagues, enabling a collaborative and inclusive environment. Additionally, you will manage the communications team, including hiring and evaluating team members when necessary.
Taking a campaign approach, you will focus on thematic-led, priority marketing programs with clear KPIs that are fully integrated across internal and external comms, media relations, analyst relations, C-suite convenings, and content programming. You will work closely with client activation team in developing and executing key campaigns to bring a unified opportunity mapping, tracking, and measurement. Your Growth
You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
