You’ll build meaningful, collaborative relationships with your teammates and the colleagues who depend on your administrative support.
Whether it’s managing a full calendar, scheduling meetings across various time zones, or arranging and coordinating complex travel logistics, you’ll apply your multitasking, organizational, and decision-making skills to fulfill critical administrative and logistical requests.
At McKinsey, we have different assistant roles: executive and relief. As an executive assistant, you will provide long-term support for several executive-level colleagues, learning their preferences and developing close working relationships. As a relief executive assistant, you will provide backup cover for absent assistants, supporting consultants for a short period of time, which gives you the opportunity to expand your network quickly and gain exposure to different regions, industries, and functions in which McKinsey operates. During the recruiting process, we’ll work together with you to align your skills and experience with one of these positions.
We’re seeking professionals with an attention to detail and ability to problem solve in a collaborative and inclusive team environment. We place a high value on emotional intelligence. Your ability to engage and respond appropriately will be critical in maintaining relationships with executive-level colleagues. This role is an excellent opportunity for professionals with experience in customer service, corporate administration, client support, or those currently in assistant roles who want to further develop their knowledge and ability. We offer extensive training to help you deepen your skills and grow your expertise.
As a people-first firm, we offer a competitive salary, plus an exceptional benefits package that includes:
- Private medical insurance at no cost covering medical, dental, vision, and mental healthcare
- Food card with daily allowance
- Fully paid sick days (when documented)
- Mental health support
- Various wellbeing, connectivity, and volunteering initiatives
- Extensive professional development, coaching, and mentorship opportunities
- Diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment with office- and firm-wide initiatives and communities (charities, sports teams, LGBTQ+, and more)
- Office in a convenient location with many public transport options and attractive surrounding areas
- And more
Position requires a 50/50 hybrid work setup - split evenly between remote and in-office presence.
