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

You will implement office transformation projects in the Financial Services Sector, ensuring long term impact delivery.
As a Delivery Manager, you will lead transformation projects by engaging at a deep level across our clients’ businesses, working in teams to build the capabilities, systems and processes needed to deliver bottom-line results and then ensure those results will be sustained. 
You will lead, coach, and motivate your team of consultants and client employees in each project. You’ll act as a subject matter expert, combining experience with strong problem-solving abilities to derive business insights and solid recommendations for clients. 
You will contribute to the implementation of our Delivery groups growth strategy, and you will take responsibility on the development of the firm.
You will grow in a stimulating and human environment where quality of life at work is important.
You will be based in our McKinsey office in Johannesburg, as part of our delivery assurance offering, working closely and in partnership with clients’ senior management and their specialist departments. 
McKinsey Delivery aspires to help our clients to achieve one of their biggest challenges: to make their transformation plans really happen. Our day-to-day work is to support large companies who need to adapt their operating models to accelerated changes in their environment, by combining agility, sustainable efficiency, and employee engagement. All in all, we exist to deliver a lasting impact to our clients.
With McKinsey Delivery you can expect a uniquely varied and exciting working environment, as well as the opportunity to work with a talented and dynamic growing team. McKinsey Delivery helps leading private sector organizations execute business transformation programs in a time of accelerated change. The business transformation includes organizational structure, capability building, and service redesign. We turn strategy into practice, using agile, efficient, and highly engaging methods that work on the ground rather than just looking good on paper. 
McKinsey Delivery integrates the skills, the approach, the corporate culture, and the resources that lead to the success of complex and challenging transformation projects and is ideally positioned to smoothly implement strategies designed by McKinsey & Company. We plan and deliver change projects together with our clients, helping them capture their full potential. We know what determines the success of large projects and what can ensure lasting implementation success. We work closely and in partnership with our clients' senior management and specialist functions. We combine strategic and operational project management, with strong execution skills and an understanding of the specific demands of each industry. We measure our success by achieving the goals we set together with our clients.

Your Growth

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
