Who You’ll Work With

Velox, a McKinsey Transformation solution, is looking for talented, creative, and entrepreneurial Software Delivery Analyst to join a team of passionate experts in our San Jose Office, Costa Rica.

McKinsey Transformation (MT) is a practice that delivers a proven approach for transformational change to clients seeking radical and sustainable performance improvement. Over the last several years, we have worked with hundreds of organizations around the world and across sectors. Most of our clients are driven by a desire to capture untapped potential; others face significant external challenges or industry discontinuities.

Net Working Capital (NWC) is a high impact component of many of those transformation programs around the world. We are taking it to the next level with Velox, which provides an end-to-end solution to help McKinsey Transformation (and non-McKinsey Transformation) clients drive cash improvements in NWC. You’ll work with a variety of colleagues (McKinsey consultants, product development, service delivery, leadership, client development). They will be based in different offices across Europe, India, US and beyond; as are the clients you will be serving.

Your impact within our firm

You will be at the core of bridging client business challenges with the capabilities of our Solutions. As a Software Delivery Analyst, you will work with client representatives, McKinsey consultants, Velox project lead and a senior NWC expert throughout a client engagement, on activities ranging from data collection and analyses, client interviews and problem-solving sessions, end deliverable creation, and much more.  

You will drive the process of converting raw client data sources into enriched dashboards to deliver insights related to the business challenges at stake; diligently own the data management, analytics, and visualization of our client engagements, and translate insights into impact through patter recognition, expertise and client coaching; accompany clients in their use of the solution to drive sustainable and high impact.

You will be involved in McKinsey consultant’s and client’s capability building. You will co-shape the solution – we are always improving, deepening, and extending our value proposition to become better impact partners. You will be expected to grasp the opportunity to take on solution development initiatives in the areas you are excited by (e.g. client development, solution delivery excellence, product development).
