Gurugram

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 be based in Gurugram, India, as part of our Digital \& Tech Insights (DTi) team, helping clients with sourcing across IT areas such as services (e.g., application services, infrastructure services), software/SaaS products, hardware, cloud, AI, and more.

You will join a global team working on topics related to tech sourcing and partnerships across industries and geographies, with a focus on sub\-categories. You will work on projects across industries and functions, fully integrated with our global firm. Collaborating with colleagues from various arms of McKinsey \& Company, you will help clients deliver breakthrough products, experiences, and businesses on technology topics.

Your work is critical to delivering cutting\-edge expertise in tech procurement. In today’s digital transformation landscape, software drives competitive advantage, and a mismanaged procurement strategy can lead to systemic technical debt, fragmented ecosystems, and hidden costs that hinder agility.

Your work will directly impact our internal teams and clients, enabling them to deliver sharp strategies and roadmaps that address real\-world challenges, ultimately contributing to client success and growth.
