Capabilities & Insights Analyst – People & Organizational Performance

You will join our Gurugram office as part of the global Capabilities and Insights (C&I) team within the broader People and Organizational Performance (POP) practice. As a member of our global knowledge network, comprising more than 1,800 knowledge professionals, you’ll collaborate closely with consultants and clients to develop distinctive insights and proprietary knowledge.

POP C&I is part of the global Research and Development fabric for the POP practice, focused on developing, codifying, sanitizing, and managing research-backed knowledge assets such as proprietary documents, assets, and proposals. The team collaborates closely with other parts of the practice, such as analytics and solutions, offering an optimal mix of research and integrated client service within broader client teams.

McKinsey’s POP practice is a trusted adviser to the world’s leading businesses and institutions on their most important organizational opportunities and challenges. With over 800 consultants and experts globally, and our proprietary data and analytics, POP supports clients across topics including culture & change, organizational design, leadership & learning, talent, merger management, digital & analytics organization, and CEO & board excellence.

As a Capabilities and Insights Analyst, you will leverage a strong understanding of key trends, issues, and concepts within the People and Organizational Performance domain to efficiently respond to complex research questions. You will synthesize information to actionable facts and insights for consulting teams and clients. Collaborating with senior knowledge professionals, you’ll contribute to larger client projects and internal knowledge-building initiatives.

By collecting and analyzing data from databases and other primary and secondary research sources, you will build strong fact bases and use this to counsel consultants and clients on relevant business and organizational trends. You will deliver insights and analysis that inform client problem-solving and decision-making.

Your day-to-day work will involve identifying critical issues, selecting the most suitable research approaches, and balancing quality, timeliness, and cost considerations. You will likely conduct analyses such as benchmarking, trend identification, and opportunity scanning to add value to problem-solving discussions. You will deliver synthesized insights and client implications within tight deadlines via end products such as PowerPoint charts, written memos, models, and frameworks.

Over time, you will also participate in, and eventually lead, internal capability-building and knowledge development initiatives. You will use advanced analytics tools to prepare and analyze large datasets to distill insights including our proprietary solutions (such as the Organizational Health Index, OrgLab, and others). You will learn and apply the full suite of Generative AI toolkit at the firm to augment your own learning and to complement your existing strong hold on digital toolkit.
