Job Description

Risk & Compliance Client Service Risk Specialist, SHaPE & Life Sciences

Who You'll Work With

You will be part of McKinsey's Client Service Risk (CSR) function. Client Service Risk's mission is to enable McKinsey's client impact and innovation, while managing risks to our clients, people and firm.

You will be based in one of our US or Canada offices and you will be a core member of the North America Client Service Risk team. In this role you will report up to the Director of North America through colleagues responsible for leading the Life Sciences and SHaPE risk teams in the United States and Canada. You will work closely with CSR colleagues in both risk advisory and strategy & operations roles and with client service partners and colleagues in other professional functions, including Legal, Compliance and Communications.

What You'll Do

You will be supporting Life Sciences and SHaPE and be part of the team charged with providing strategic, integrative advice to client service teams and Sector leaders in the Life Sciences and SHaPE sectors, which together comprise clients in the pharmaceuticals, MedTech, healthcare, social sector, and public sector spaces.

You will identify, analyze, and resolve client service risk questions (e.g., questions involving new clients and moderate-risk engagements) and advise client-serving teams on risk mitigation steps. You will also support senior risk colleagues on risk reviews of higher-risk and more complex cases and will help prepare briefings for the Client Service Risk Committee (CSRC). You will work closely with risk colleagues to develop and improve risk practices and protocols, and support efforts to increase awareness and training within the sectors. You will also be responsible for timely and accurate record-keeping.

You will combine a risk-ownership mindset and excellent problem-solving skills and judgment, to manage increasingly complex issues and to develop into a trusted counselor to client service partners. You will need to have strong attention to detail, agility, well-developed critical thinking skills and a collaborative working style.
