Who You'll Work With

You’ll join our office in San Jose, Costa Rica and be part of our Digital and Technology insights (DTi) team and our Client Capabilities Network (CCN). At CCN, we deliver distinctive client impact through products, offerings and expertise and are driven by a culture of innovation.
At DTi, we use McKinsey’s cumulative expertise across a range of digital, AI and technology topics including strategy, talent, sourcing, operating model, technology spend and capabilities, data and more. Our global team of more than 100 colleagues offers deep and broad capabilities through its products and expertise to help medium and large organizations solve some of their most complex digital and technology problems and rewire the way they operate. We support the entire value chain of our client’s digital and technology journey, from assessing current performance and maturity, benchmarking against industry peers and best-in-class companies, identifying improvement levers and quantifying potential, often supporting implementation measures, and sustaining improvements over time.
Our offerings, products and expertise help business, analytics, digital and IT executives generate the insights they need to address both strategic and day-to-day technology decisions. Our offerings complement McKinsey's traditional client service and are delivered in many ways, including analytical tools, subscriptions, workshops, and project-based engagements. We work closely with clients to embed our offerings, analyses, and expertise, and provide on-going support to help them build the capabilities they need to revolutionize how decisions are made.
Our team provides a unique opportunity to take on an entrepreneurial challenge and have clear impact on business, all while leveraging the knowledge and network of a world-class consultancy. It is helping to shift our model toward expert-based consulting and redefining what it means to work at McKinsey.  

Your impact within our firm

At McKinsey & Company, we believe in the power of technology and data to drive transformative business outcomes. As a Capabilities and Insights Analyst within our Digital and Technology Insights team (DTi), you will play a pivotal role in guiding our consultants to leverage cutting-edge offerings, products, and insights to solve complex client challenges.  
Your impact within our firm will be multifaceted, contributing to both client success and the advancement of our internal knowledge and operational excellence. In this role, you will be responsible for delivering DTi diagnostics, insights and products across the world, with a focus on clients in the Americas.
In this exciting position, you will be at the intersection of technology, digital, AI and the business, providing essential support to our client-service teams. You will engage with these teams to scope and prioritize project requests and business needs. You will clarify and scope objectives to determine the most appropriate offerings, insights, data, and products. This involves deploying standard offerings and products with minimal guidance, interpreting the outputs of these s, and conducting medium-complexity data-driven analyses and calculations. Your ability to prepare accurate, well-developed documents, databases, models, solution outputs, and ready-to-use charts will be instrumental in driving client success.
Beyond client work, you will contribute to our knowledge, tech-enablement, and operational agenda. You will support the development and maintenance of databases, products, offerings and knowledge codification, working closely with senior colleagues on product development and knowledge creation initiatives. Your contributions will extend to client development efforts, such as creating client proposals and use case examples that showcase our expertise. You will analyze data sets by developing scripts to validate, transform, and load data, creating insights that help drive our clients to action. On the DTi team, you will spend some of your time working on technical deliverables associated with both internal automation and tools, and client-facing prototypes. Over time, you will increasingly serve as a subject matter expert to McKinsey colleagues and our clients on digital, analytics, AI and technology topics, contributing to building our diagnostics, product development, and reach and relevance initiatives. Your journey at McKinsey will be one of continuous growth and development, ensuring that you remain at the forefront of industry advancements.
