Job

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.

As a Product Manager, you will craft product roadmaps, interview end users, and guide teams in delivering and launching meaningful, user‑centric advanced analytics and agentic solutions. Working with a cross‑functional team of domain experts and technical colleagues, you’ll tackle delivery obstacles, prioritize high‑value features, and foster innovation to address client and business objectives.

You will collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure product success by leading user discovery sessions, building empathy and understanding within the team to align product development with user needs. You will identify and address delivery barriers, manage dependencies, and negotiate with stakeholders to maximize value within tight timelines and budgets. Your leadership will ensure the delivery of high‑quality, user‑focused products.

You’ll be working in one of our North American offices in our Life Sciences practice. As a member of McKinsey’s global Scientific AI team, you will help revolutionize how clients approach research and development in innovation‑driven sectors such as Life Sciences, Specialty Chemicals, Global Energy & Materials, Agriculture, Advanced Industries, and Sustainability.

Your contributions will help solve complex challenges for clients and colleagues. Partnering with subject matter experts, engineers, and designers, you will align product development with industry needs and client goals. Your work will shape software solutions that enhance usability, quality, and predictability, driving lasting impact for internal and external stakeholders.

You will lead the creation of innovative advanced analytics & agentic capabilities that deliver value to clients and drive meaningful outcomes. Based in our entrepreneurial and collaborative team, you will help shape McKinsey’s shift toward asset‑based consulting by fostering innovation through analytics, design thinking, and emerging technologies. Your work will focus on building product roadmaps, defining MVP functionality, and guiding teams to launch impactful solutions.

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.
