Our Careers - Marketing & Sales Practice

The mission of McKinsey's Marketing & Sales Practice is to help clients achieve marketing-driven profit growth. We do so by focusing our practice activities in two areas:

  • Developing in-depth expertise and specialized knowledge in key areas of marketing: branding, customer insights, customer loyalty, customer relationship management (CRM), marketing organization and capability building, pricing, and sales and channel management.
  • Conducting fundamental research to identify key marketing trends and best practices in both consumer and business-to-business environments.

We are looking for candidates in North America, Asia, and Europe with strong academic backgrounds and distinctive marketing expertise with at least 5 years of high-level industry experience in consumer-related industries.

Through their work and learning, our consultants expand McKinsey's capability for serving clients, advance industry thinking on critical marketing issues, and grow professionally in a stimulating environment. Once on board, our consultants integrate intellectual capital and hands-on experience as they work with senior management to solve the challenges facing organizations.

As a McKinsey marketing consultant, you will serve leading corporations in all major industries, including automotive, consumer packaged goods, financial services, high tech, industrial, pharmaceuticals, retailing, and telecommunications. You will work in teams, typically consisting of three to five consultants led by a McKinsey partner. Team members identify issues, form hypotheses, design and conduct analyses, synthesize conclusions into recommendations, and present results to management.

Our Requirements
Desired Skills

Candidates should have a broad understanding of current marketing trends, their impact on business strategies, and their implications for senior management in creating and sustaining competitive advantage. Candidates should be comfortable with quantitative analysis and take a creative, yet pragmatic, approach to problem solving.

Equally important is the ability to motivate others, to communicate complex ideas clearly, to gain the respect of clients and colleagues, and to work collaboratively. Please note that we require both local language and English language fluency for all positions in countries where English is not the native language.

Education

McKinsey seeks candidates with outstanding records of academic and professional achievement who demonstrate the capacity for continuous development. We offer opportunities to qualified individuals at all stages of their academic and professional careers, from recent degree recipients to highly experienced industry professionals. The strongest candidates will have an M.B.A. or another advanced degree, preferably in marketing or statistics, from a top academic institution.
