Overview

McKinsey’s operations practice seeks highly motivated individuals to join as part of the two-year Operations Excellence Program (OEP). You will work with clients in a high-performance environment, developing leadership and problem-solving skills.

Your Impact

As a consultant in our two-year Operations Excellence Program (OEP), you will work on client engagements in the same way as any other McKinsey consultant. You will play an active role in problem solving for clients including identifying issues, forming hypotheses, designing and conducting analyses, and synthesizing conclusions into recommendations.

We view the OEP position as the start of a rewarding, challenging and highly flexible career with McKinsey and the Operations practice. During your first few years with the firm, you will serve as a consultant on multiple client engagements and work with a number of colleagues and clients in a range of industry and operations service lines.

Along with other members of the OEP community, you will dedicate many days to functional training and knowledge development under the leadership of our operations experts. You will follow a curriculum based on operations excellence themes and will receive advanced training in one of six specific areas of operations: manufacturing, product development, purchasing, service operations, supply chain management, or capital excellence. Upon completion of the program, successful consultants will join our global group of leading experts in operational excellence. We already have OEP graduates working at all levels of the firm from associate to partner. You’ll be based in one of our European offices as part of the Operations Practice, which blends strategic thinking with hands-on practicality to help clients achieve operational excellence.
