Māori & Pasifika Internship

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place. YOUR IMPACT You will work in a client team and play an active role in all aspects of the client engagement. In this role, your responsibilities will include gathering and analysing information and developing and communicating recommendations. The internship is between 4-8 weeks depending on your university schedule. You will gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm and will receive on-going coaching and mentoring from colleagues on your team. You will work with your McKinsey colleagues and with the client team, owning a distinct piece of the project. Some examples of the specific work may include interviewing clients, leading client teams, building financial models, creating and delivering presentations, and working with McKinsey subject experts to develop perspectives and insights for the client. Coaching and mentorship will be an integral part of your development at McKinsey. You will receive ongoing support, peers will give you feedback and will help you grow and plan the next several years of your career and you will be supported at every stage of the application and interview process. You will also have the chance to connect with past internship and scholarship winners. You will join our Auckland office as part of the Māori & Pasifika Scholarship and Internship program.
