Summer Intern

Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Summer Internship program! This 9-week program offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience accelerated growth and learning in a dynamic, "bootcamp" environment.

As a Fellow intern, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse range of work we do. This summer, you will join a client service team, where you will contribute to workstreams that address some of the most challenging issues faced by our clients, ranging from Fortune 500 giants to innovative startups. You will engage in research on pressing topics, gaining valuable insights and, above all, firsthand experience of what it is like to be a consultant at McKinsey.

You will take on a role that goes beyond advising. You will be at the heart of the action—helping to uncover the true challenges behind a client’s strategy and creating actionable plans that drive real change.

Working alongside clients and other McKinsey colleagues, you will combine research, analyzing data, interviews, and brainstorming to generate fresh insights and breakthrough solutions. Your commitment to our values will be crucial in earning our clients' trust and delivering results that matter.

As you collaborate directly with clients, you will help them solve problems, refine strategies, and implement transformations. By equipping them with the tools and knowledge to continue innovating and improving after we’ve left, you will ensure the impact of our work endures. In doing so, you will uphold McKinsey’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the industries and communities we serve.

Application deadline: 22nd of April

Start date: 2nd of July

YOUR GROWTH

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you’ll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

• Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
• Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package, which includes medical, dental, mental health, and vision coverage for you, your spouse/partner, and children.
