You’ll be based in our Gurugram office within the Strategy & Corporate Finance (S&CF) Insights team.
S&CF Insights is McKinsey’s center of excellence in advanced analytics for Strategy and Corporate Finance. Its purpose is to empower teams with advanced, yet easy-to-use, analytical capabilities that can generate superior insights and transform client conversations.
To this end, the S&CF practice, in conjunction with the McKinsey Global Institute, has assembled one of the world’s most sophisticated groups of experts, sets of databases, and analytical techniques.
S&CF Insights is a global team of finance experts and strategists that addresses clients’ questions about valuation and value creation. The center combines the best of McKinsey’s financial analysis capabilities, proprietary tools and insights, broad industry knowledge, and practical application perspectives.
Over time, as a research analyst, you will develop a solid grounding in core principles of corporate finance. As your career evolves, you will also start working with specialists, experts and senior leaders of the practice to help McKinsey teams identify and evaluate critical financial and strategic issues for discussions with senior client executives. You will be leveraging excel-based models, financial databases and research platforms to generate end products in the form of presentations, written summaries and spreadsheets.
Examples of specific activities for your role may include, but are not limited to: analyzing the performance of companies in capital markets, assessing the financial performance of companies using growth, margins, returns and leverage ratios, conducting outside-in valuation diagnostics using discounted cash flows (DCF) and valuation multiples, conducting qualitative and quantitative research on Strategy & Corporate Finance topics and synthetize the results, serving as point of contact for the S&CF practice, and answering the requests from multiple intake channels.
