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, conducting analyses, and synthesizing conclusions into recommendations. You will gain leading edge operations and consultancy skills, primarily through on‐the‐job coaching, which will be complemented by the OEP's structured capability‐building program. The OEP position is the start of a rewarding, challenging and highly flexible career with McKinsey and the Operations practice.

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. 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.
