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 contribute to optimizing onboarding processes, training, communications, and user adoption strategies, adapting to changing needs throughout the client lifecycle. 
You will build and maintain meaningful relationships with a portfolio of clients and internal teams, demonstrating the value of Wave’s offerings. A key part of your role will be to regularly share additional use cases, identify expansion opportunities, and drive product adoption and satisfaction.
As a Senior Client Success Analyst you will be participating in innovative efforts to broaden client impact and proactively deliver client engagement activities such as workshops, business reviews, and strategic outreach, particularly introducing new capabilities like Wave’s GenAI-enabled Virtual Coach. In coordination with a cross-functional team, you will assist in resolution of issues related to adoption, business operations, and client relationships, acting as a client advocate within the team and the broader firm.
Furthermore, you will deliver thought leadership by staying abreast of client needs, industry trends, and competitor offerings. This will involve you building and optimizing client delivery and development strategies, contributing ideas, and supporting the implementation of new product development, marketing, and operational enhancements. You will also contribute to the contract extension and renewal process and collaborate closely with leadership for contractual and billing matters. Your position requires a willingness to travel 20% of the time, accommodating the needs of our diverse client base and ensuring the highest level of service and engagement.
Wave is part of the McKinsey Transformation Practice. You will be based in Chicago but also work with colleagues across the Americas region. You’ll enable large-scale transformation and change programs through Wave, a cloud-based program management solution, in combination with other tech-enabled assets.
Wave empowers teams to drive performance and ensures superior execution and value delivery. Its mix of intuitive technology and McKinsey business advisory enables clients to track the progress and performance of initiatives against business goals, budget, and timeframes, powering transformation delivery and sustained change.
You will be joining team members who are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to meaningful organizational change. As a Client Success Senior Analyst, you will collaborate with leadership teams to help shape strategy and enhance our approach to client experience. In this role, you will work with a diverse range of clients across industries and have access to McKinsey’s training programs and experts to deepen your transformation expertise and business knowledge.
