Based in our McKinsey Global Services office in Bengaluru you will work with consultants, function leaders, peer executive assistants (EA), and other colleagues across the globe on tasks with international reach.

And 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.
Candidates from various backgrounds are successful in this role.
