【マッキンゼー・アンド・カンパニー】Client Communications Specialist
仕事内容
You will help McKinsey consultants and engagement teams communicate in an effective and purposeful way.
In this role, you will provide guidance in defining communication objectives, identifying and analyzing stakeholder needs, developing insightful communication strategies, and designing individual communications and interactions. You will also provide editing guidance on client documents, speeches and articles. You will help in strengthening our consultants’ communication skills (strategic, written, interpersonal) through workshops and one-on-one coaching, sometimes working directly with clients as well. You’ll also develop the firm’s communication knowledge and capabilities by helping to identify and disseminate best practices, and designing and implementing awareness-building initiatives.
You’ll help structure, write and revise individual pieces so they’re compelling and crystal clear. There will be times that you will hold the pen yourself and other times, you’ll join creative teams working in a broad range of digital formats. You’ll broaden a team’s thinking by stepping back from the document to suggest a different approach entirely, advising on the best media, structure, style and content to use. You’ll help teams think more holistically about the experience clients have when we work with them, and how we can use workshops, hackathons and other meeting formats to build momentum and excitement.
You’ll help teams develop communication plans for clients that will get their organizations ready to make bold moves. You’ll help consultants start projects well by understanding important client stakeholders so they can develop recommendations that resonate. You’ll stay involved over the course of an engagement, supporting key moments and critical deliverables.
As you work side by side with consulting teams, you’ll spot opportunities to help colleagues build their skills for the long term, sharing principles and tips they can internalize and build on. You’ll occasionally codify your expertise into new best practices that teams around the world can benefit from.
You’ll support an institutional shift in how McKinsey consultants think about their client communications: away from a default to PowerPoint, and towards a thoughtful approach that emphasizes narrative, a wider range of tools and media, and a strategy tailored to the client situation. At the same time, you’ll emphasize the importance of core foundational skills like compelling writing, structured thinking and powerful presenting.
