Roles at McKinsey Spain

Apply as a business analyst

What business analysts do

As a business analyst, you’ll work on client projects as part of a team and take responsibility for your own part of the problem solving. You’ll play a key role in gathering data and contributing to the team’s recommendations, and you will work directly with senior client executives. You will also have a voice in determining the team's style and pace of work.

No two weeks will be the same: from gathering and analyzing data, to interviewing stakeholders or presenting your findings to clients, the range of industries and business issues to which you’ll be exposed will mean that you’re constantly acquiring new skills and experience. And your ideas and opinions will be encouraged and valued from day one.

In the business analyst program, you’ll spend about 2 years developing broad business skills; then you will have different options: take educational leave to obtain your MBA (financially supported by McKinsey), gain further work experience for 1 year in your favorite industry or in a non-profit organization, or move directly into an associate role.

What we are looking for

We look for exceptional people from a variety of academic fields and professions, including financial services, life sciences, and engineering. We welcome applications for fellow positions from people fluent in Spanish and English who have a bachelor’s or a master’s degree, and less than two years of professional experience.

Apply as an associate

What associates do

As an associate in McKinsey Spain, you’ll lead a key portion of a client project. You’ll have direct contact with senior clients and work with a high degree of independence. Your tasks might include identifying issues, forming hypotheses, planning and conducting interviews and analyses, developing conclusions into recommendations, and helping implement change.

We’ll provide extensive training to help you build core consulting skills. You will also receive ongoing feedback and mentorship from collaborative teammates to help you reach your full potential.

As a successful associate, you’ll quickly assume broader responsibilities. After 2 or 3 years, you may move into the role of engagement manager. Engagement managers lead client projects, manage teams, coach less experienced colleagues, and take responsibility for initiatives within McKinsey.

What we are looking for

We seek people with different backgrounds, experience, and passions. This includes a variety of academic fields and professions, including financial services, life sciences, and engineering.

We would be pleased to hear from you if you are an experienced professional with between three and eight years of solid work experience, or a student currently studying toward an MBA or an advanced professional degree (such as a PhD, LLB, or MD.)

Apply as a business analyst intern or a summer associate

Are you interested in entering the world of management consulting? Would you like to see what it’s like to work in a diverse team, developing cutting-edge solutions for leading companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations?

The internship program is designed for students who are interested in gaining first-hand experience in management consulting, and in learning about a career at McKinsey Spain.

What interns and summer associates do

As an intern or a summer associate, you’ll experience the day-to-day life of a McKinsey consultant. You’ll be an active member of a consulting team and experience some of the challenges that a client project presents. You’ll gather and analyze information, meet client teams, prepare proposals and communications, and present findings to senior client executives.

Our strength-based feedback culture, together with the training you will receive during your internship, will help you to reach your full potential. While you work, experienced consultants will provide guidance and coaching and give you a sense of McKinsey’s people, values, and spirit.

At the end of your internship, you’ll be able to judge whether a career with McKinsey appeals to you, and McKinsey will decide whether to extend you an offer for a permanent position as a full-time consultant.

How the internship program works

We offer two different programs, one geared to students pursuing their bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and the other designed for MBA students. Both programs take place during the summer months and last for 8- to 10 weeks. We welcome applications from students in the summer before the graduating year of their degree.

Specialists consulting roles

We recruit both generalist consultants and specialists for our functional practices. Specifically, we are recruiting consultants with expertise in the following areas:
