Are you driven by the opportunity to tackle complex challenges and work alongside top leaders? Do you want to be part of a team that delivers outcomes that others simply can’t? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
You will be based in our Cairo office as part of our Middle East Client Capabilities Hub, serving our clients as part of a McKinsey consulting team.
The Client Capabilities Hub is part of McKinsey’s Global Knowledge Network which comprises of 4000+ knowledge professionals with deep specialization across industries and functions.
You’ll be working with McKinsey’s Procurement practice within the Middle East region. Our Procurement practice assists our clients in solving complex operational challenges. Blending strategic thinking with hands-on practicality, our teams of consultants and experts work to develop and implement operational strategies that solve our clients' most critical problems.
Our Procurement group is part of our Operations practice, providing clients with support and advising their management teams on strategic and operational questions such as global sourcing, e-procurement, supplier development, and the formation of purchasing organizations.
You will solve client problems related to operations, procurement and supply chain.
In this role, you will work on client engagements by driving a work stream for specific categories most often under the guidance of other content experts and by providing short term support to deliver important insights on content focused questions. This will include spend analysis, TCO/cleansheet costing, contract analysis, supplier identification, saving idea/lever identification, sourcing strategy, development, RFQ management and analysis, negotiation strategy development and tracking mechanism development.
The majority of your time (~60-70%) will be spent developing purchasing and supply management (PSM) expertise (assets, knowledge, tools) and delivering that expertise to both client serving teams and clients directly.
Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to further develop cutting edge knowledge related to the PSM domain. As part of this domain, you will support the development and maintenance of procurement capabilities including assets, knowledge, tools, fact, packs, case studies and primers.
