The Product Development & Procurement (PDP) Fellow is an expert path role aligned to our Operations Practice. The Fellow role is designed as an apprenticeship program to develop future PDP leaders at McKinsey.

Throughout the Fellow program, you will work across our procurement solutions, helping our clients transform their organizations through: design and innovation, product and portfolio optimization, category management, and supplier collaboration. In addition to serving clients, you will help shape McKinsey’s thinking in the product development and procurement area and continuously develop your own knowledge as well as that of the firm.

You will be immersed in a close community of like-minded individuals and program alumni. At the start of the program, you will be assigned a Professional Development Manager (PDM) to support your domain knowledge cultivation throughout your program journey. Furthermore, various virtual and in-person events will be held to help you and the larger Fellow community stay connected.

As a PDP Fellow, you will work with teams of McKinsey colleagues and clients to innovate on products and processes while delivering value that impacts our clients. After successful completion of this program, you will be placed into the most appropriate role where you can leverage your newly amassed domain expertise and client experience. PDP Fellows can be based in our Atlanta or Chicago offices. You will travel frequently to work with teams from different backgrounds and extend your network across multiple offices.
