Who You'll Work With
You will join the Mumbai office or alternatively our McKinsey Knowledge Center in Gurgaon.

You’ll be part of our global Electric Power & Natural Gas (EPNG) knowledge network, a team of ~20 knowledge professionals who work alongside our consultants and clients to generate distinctive insights and proprietary knowledge. The EPNG knowledge network is part of McKinsey’s knowledge network which includes more than 1,800 members globally. You will work with this group to help develop, codify, sanitize, and manage our global knowledge.

Within our EPNG knowledge network, you'll be working on strategic, analytical, and operational topics, across a broad range of segments along the value chain. You will be working with a group of McKinsey partners and consultants that are actively working to solve strategic topics in electricity and gas markets. As you develop professionally in the role, you will have the opportunity to serve clients directly, further develop and own proprietary tools and knowledge for McKinsey, and mentor more junior colleagues

What You'll Do
You will leverage a solid understanding of business and technology trends, issues, and concepts in the power and mid- and downstream gas industry to efficiently respond to complex research questions by researching and synthesizing actionable facts and insights to our consulting teams and clients.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work alongside senior knowledge professionals on larger client facing projects and internal knowledge initiatives. By collecting and analyzing data and information found in databases and/or other primary and secondary research tools, you will assemble the relevant fact base, counsel consultants and clients on the scope of the business, the operations, technology, strategic and economic trends surrounding the issue, and provide insights and analysis for solving client problems at hand.

Some of your day-to-day tasks will include identifying the key issues for the problem at hand and determining the most appropriate solution while effectively balancing quality, availability, timeliness, and cost factors. You’ll perform a variety of analyses such as benchmarking, trend identification, industry profiling, market sizing, growth projections, opportunity scanning, etc., in order to add value to problem-solving discussions. You’ll provide synthesis, insight and client implications within tight deadlines via end products in the form of PowerPoint charts, written memos, models and frameworks.

In time, you will also participate in, and eventually lead, internal knowledge development and capability-building initiatives and you’ll use advanced analytics tools to prepare and analyze large datasets to distill insights.
