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.

Who You'll Work With

You will be based in our Zurich office as part of Orphoz, a subsidiary of McKinsey & Company, working closely and in partnership with client's senior management and their specialist departments.
Do you know that only 1/3 of transformations are successful and sustainable? Orphoz helps leading private sector organisations execute business transformation programs in a time of accelerated change. The business transformation includes organisational 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. Orphoz 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 impact within our firm

In this role, you will support the implementation of business change programs to ensure that they are delivered fully and consistently across organisations. You will implement transformation projects across sectors, ensuring long term project success.

As you gain experience, you will gradually assume responsibility for delivering parts of the projects yourself. You will lead more junior consultants in your project or workstream and successfully hold client meetings and workshops to achieve the project's objectives. You will drive change and execute initiatives successfully, coaching clients across organizations.
