YOUR IMPACT

As an assistant, you will play a critical role in enabling the success of our leaders, including partners, by providing exceptional administrative support in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Your contributions will directly support our firm’s mission to create lasting, positive change with our clients.

In this role, you will serve as a trusted collaborator to colleagues, managing complex calendars, coordinating travel, and facilitating communication with clients and internal teams. Success at McKinsey is built on collaboration, partnership, and a shared commitment to excellence. It means working together to overcome challenges, taking ownership of your work, and consistently delivering high-quality results.

You will be part of a collaborative Global Administration team based in Chennai, Bengaluru or Gurugram benefiting from in-person learning and camaraderie while supporting colleagues virtually across regions.

Your development is intentionally supported through structured learning, day-to-day apprenticeship and coaching from experienced leaders who are committed to your success. As your capabilities and responsibilities grow, so do your opportunities to take on new challenges, broaden your experience and build a career within the firm.

We offer three dynamic assistant roles tailored to your skills and career aspirations:

- Executive Assistant: Build long-term relationships with executive-level colleagues, learning their preferences and providing tailored support to help them succeed.

- Team Assistant: Collaborate with client service teams on projects that last from one month to over a year, managing schedules and coordinating workflows to ensure seamless teamwork.

- Relief Executive Assistant: Provide short-term support for colleagues when other assistants are unavailable, offering exposure to diverse industries, regions,



and functions while quickly expanding your network and skill set.

During the recruitment process, we’ll work closely with you to identify the role that best aligns with your experience, strengths, and career goals. Whichever path you take, you’ll have opportunities to learn, grow and build something lasting.

We’re not just hiring Executive Assistants—we’re investing in you and your career. If you’re looking for meaningful work, a supportive team and a firm that continues to invest in your growth, you’ll have the opportunity to build a long-term career where your contribution is visible, valued and meaningful.
