Consultant - Orphoz

Job ID: 101134
  • London


Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

Where transformation becomes real and value endures.
At Orphoz, we help leading organisations achieve the hardest part of transformation — making change happen and stick. Part of McKinsey’s Implementation Practice, Orphoz focuses on executing large-scale transformations: restructurings, turnarounds, integrations, performance improvement, and operationalising value-creation plans.
We combine McKinsey’s strategic rigour with the hands-on drive of experienced operators to deliver results that last - on the P&L, in capability, and in culture. From boardroom ambition to frontline action, we close the strategy-to-impact gap, embedding transformation disciplines that sustain performance and empower people.
This is a role for those who want to see transformation through to impact: leading change from design to execution, helping leaders and teams build mindsets and capabilities for long-term success.
What you’ll do
  • Turn strategy into action: translate ambition into clear initiatives, KPIs, and delivery routines that drive focus and accountability.
  • Unlock value: identify and deliver key performance levers (from working-capital and procurement efficiency to cost productivity and growth acceleration) to strengthen EBITDA, cash flow, and capability.
  • Redesign how organisations work: implement new operating models, governance, and performance systems that embed sustained impact.
  • Lead transformation delivery: set up and run Transformation Offices, drive execution discipline and cadence, and deliver measurable financial, operational, and organisational outcomes.
  • Mobilise people and leadership: engage senior sponsors, coach teams, and build ownership and resilience so change endures.
  • Collaborate across McKinsey: partner with strategists, functional, and digital experts to connect strategy with execution and deliver lasting results.
Where you’ll work
  • Base: London, with hybrid flexibility and travel as required.
  • Engagement rhythm: typically Mon–Thu on-site or hybrid; Fri more focused on firm building and development.
  • Team model: small, high-trust teams (3–5 colleagues) integrated with McKinsey partners and experts.
Why Orphoz at McKinsey
  • A distinct practice within McKinsey focused on transformation execution and value creation - turning strategy into results.
  • We stay through delivery partnering with clients until impact is achieved and embedded.
  • Global community: 500+ transformation professionals across McKinsey; 250+ in Orphoz across 12 European countries.
  • Apprenticeship and growth: McKinsey excellence, combined with the pace and depth of real-world execution.
  • A human, grounded, and performance-driven culture that values collaboration, resilience, and tangible results.
