Job Title: Analyst – Africa Delivery Hub
Location: Lagos

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll work with our Africa Delivery Hub (ADH) in
either our Johannesburg or Nairobi offices. The ADH is a quickly growing
team within McKinsey addressing complex public, societal and government
challenges.
We develop and implement exciting social sector or
government programs such as reforming primary schools in South Africa,
implementing special economic zones in Kenya or transforming power
infrastructure across African countries.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work in teams of typically 3 – 5 consultants,
playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.
This includes gathering and analyzing information,
formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating
recommendations.
You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to
client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with
client team members.
You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in and
lead internal knowledge building initiatives and contribute to industry
conferences and workshops.
African economies possess high potential for social and
economic development but often lack the necessary skills to achieve their
developmental potential.
You will apply your knowledge of international
development topics to advise clients, or provide expert backup and support
to client teams.
You will be expected to rapidly identify and prioritize
actions for, and executing on, client strategy to deliver on critical
targets.
You will provide ongoing, targeted capability-building
of teams and/or individuals in context-specific skills, performance
management, problem-solving, and analytics to enable them to more
effectively deliver results.
You will be expected to analyze data to identify
opportunities and drive performance. Analysts co-create performance
targets and milestones with clients.
You’ll work on projects that are typically longer term,
more tangible, and with greater focus on leadership and coaching of client
teams.
You will work exclusively with governments, donors, and
senior leaders in civil service on transformational challenges in economic
development by building capabilities, overseeing transformation, and
delivering policy solutions.
You will partake in client development and workshops
for new and current clients and write proposals for new client
engagements.
You will set up and manage project management systems
to track performance, and you’ll also have the chance to strengthen your
specific technical/sectorial expertise to offer specialist delivery
support (e.g. agriculture sector delivery) to clients with targeted needs.
