If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.
Your Impact
You will join a group of communications professionals within the firm's Reach and Engagement function. These colleagues help ensure that appropriate insights reach designated audiences, delivering tailored and impactful messaging to build awareness and engagement with McKinsey's distinctive knowledge on a variety of topics, with a specific focus on private capital, private equity, and related asset classes. They shape the way the firm connects with people-from clients to employees to alumni-strengthening institutional relationships, connections and affiliations.
Through partnership with senior leaders and stakeholders across communications initiatives, you will serve as a leader to your team and will drive the development and execution of best-in-class global communications programs, events, and publications that will enable client activation and funnel building across all channels, and that are tailored to investors, general partners, portfolio companies and relevant stakeholders. By leveraging strategic project briefs, data-driven insights, and a deep understanding of audience needs, you will ensure communications efforts are aligned with the firm's priorities and deliver measurable impact. You will proactively shape creative communications strategies, content and tactics to showcase McKinsey's capabilities, knowledge, and assets. Additionally, you will maintain McKinsey's reputation, punctuate its expertise, and bring campaigns to life in relevant ways across channels, platforms, and stakeholders, that demonstrate our leadership in value creation, due diligence, green growth, digital transformation, and AI in private equity.
You will be based in one of the North American offices as part of our Private Capital team. You will work closely with McKinsey's Private Capital Practice, working with leaders across the world. The Private Capital Practice is a strategic, innovative, highly competitive sector. We serve private equity funds, their portfolio companies, and their institutional investors, as well as other alternative asset managers and investments, across a wide range of investable sectors.
In terms of creating effective communications: you'll drive high-quality writing and editing by leading/enabling teams to develop clear, structured and engaging written communications that rigorously follow conventions of written English (and local languages when relevant). Along with cell leaders, you will manage the firm's reputational risk by mapping strengths/weaknesses and handling opportunities/threats. You'll anticipate, identify and respond to reputation risk issues to protect and enhance McKinsey's reputation by reviewing materials and proactively shaping the narrative. You'll conduct strategic assessments to support execution and prioritization of communication campaigns and events (e.g., competitor insights, event speaker research), collating insights into actionable formats for leadership and ensuring alignment with project briefs when applicable. You'll establish high-quality and consistent branding (i.e., firm's signature voice, visuals, and narrative) across communications platforms and channels in support of relevant brand pivots, ensuring resonance with target audiences and alignment with strategic objectives.
In terms of project management and creation: you'll define and direct appropriate strategic communications objectives and strategies to achieve them; help radiate priorities and important topics across existing channels and ensure appropriate positioning with key stakeholders. You'll manage development and dissemination of external and/or internal websites and publications. You'll develop and execute reputation-building programs through a mix of publishing activities (e.g., monitoring of media relations and public relations, targeted knowledge dissemination). You'll identify, secure and manage appropriate partnerships with internal or external stakeholders and build network of key editors, journalists, policymakers, senior executives, and academics and work with partners to strengthen relationships with these audiences. You'll advise and counsel partners in developing networking programs to strengthen relationships with clients, potential clients and media across GPs, LPs and other key influencers. You'll manage the communications team, including hiring, developing, coaching, and evaluating team members, as applicable. You'll develop strategy and corresponding metrics to measure impact and implement related data collection/reporting mechanisms, applying analysis to optimize decision-making and outreach strategies across the marketing funnel following firm unified measurement guidelines and frameworks.
You will foster an agile team environment, encouraging iterative work processes, delivering work-in-progress frequently, and collaborating in quick, iterative rounds. You'll coach and support the immediate team and junior colleagues, as applicable and enable a collaborative and inclusive environment for the team while empowering individuals to be innovative and performance driven. You'll manage contact databases to maximize dissemination and engagement. You will actively gather audience insight to be shared with authors and stakeholders, adjusting outreach strategies to optimize engagement across the marketing funnel. You'll role model Marketing Mindsets behaviors, ensuring the team receives adequate training, actively uses MM tools and terminology, and applies them to drive impactful outcomes. Your Growth
You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
