Job description
You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
When you join us, you will have:
  • Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
  • A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
  • Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • Exceptional benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
You will be part of McKinsey’s Ethics and Compliance (E&C) function and will be based in the Americas or Europe. E&C’s mission is to enable our Firm’s client impact while protecting our firm, including by managing and mitigating risks to our firm, our clients, and our people. The E&C function is a globally integrated team within the second line of defense of our firm. Our E&C program includes five building blocks—leadership, risk management, governance, awareness and training, and monitoring and response—structured to identify and address risks proactively, work in practice, and continuously improve. The program is designed and operationalized to be effective, consistent, risk-based, sustainable, and embedded into our firm’s operations and workforce.
This opportunity works in our Client Service and Regulatory Compliance pillar, which is responsible for instilling trust that our firm serves clients and communities with integrity and adheres to regulatory requirements. Your role reports to our Director of Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes Compliance.
In this role, you will lead the design, implementation, execution, and continuous improvement of our firm’s global Financial Crimes Compliance program, including the Anti-Money Laundering program, Anti-Fraud program, and our Anti-Corruption financial controls program. You will play a critical role helping scale and mature our firm’s Financial Crimes Compliance and Anti-Corruption financial controls programs and processes from a global perspective, including with respect to regulatory-obligation identification and compliance, risk identification and mitigation, transaction testing and monitoring, dashboarding and metrics, and suspicious-activity reporting.
You will provide strategic advice and support to our firm colleagues on matters and questions relating to Financial Crimes Compliance and Anti-Corruption financial controls. Additionally, you will be expected to maintain visibility into external regulatory and enforcement changes and trends to spot risk areas for our firm. Relatedly, you will monitor regulatory changes related to Financial Crimes Compliance and help ensure our firm stays compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
As a member of the Client Service and Regulatory Compliance leadership group and broader E&C team, you will be expected to be a key contributor within the function, in addition to driving key organizational, operational, or strategic initiatives, as relevant.
You will be required to engage in regionally focused initiatives, such as infusing our integrity agenda, under the direction and coordination of our regional E&C leaders, the purpose of which is to raise awareness of and further our firm’s E&C program, and other agreed-upon supporting activities in your region or location.
Collaboration is a key aspect of this role. You will collaborate with a cross-functional stakeholder group (e.g., Legal, Finance, Optimize, and Risk) across our firm in a timely and efficient manner. You will work closely with our broader E&C team, Legal, Finance, Optimize, Risk, and others to drive awareness, training, and monitoring measures for the Financial Crimes and Anti-Corruption financial controls programs to ensure they are embedded and effective in practice and holistic in approach.
Finally, you will play a critical role in sustaining and evolving our firm’s E&C program and upholding our commitment to integrity and lawful practices.
  • Bachelor's degree required, advanced degree(s) and applicable professional certifications (e.g., CPA, CFE, CIA, CAMS, or CAFS) preferred
  • 10+ years of professional experience in anti-corruption financial controls, internal controls, and/or financial crimes compliance in large multi-national companies or government agencies
  • Exhibit impeccable integrity and trustworthiness and sound judgment
  • Demonstrate exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to leverage technology to prevent and detect issues and to identify patterns, trends, and potential anomalies that may present risk
  • Leverage highly credible expertise to provide a perspective on multifaceted issues and influence others
  • Operationalize complex priorities across stakeholders to drive impact, develop and communicate a compelling vision, and inspire action
  • Build trust-based relationships with colleagues and firm members and collaborate generously, becoming a sought-after expert and thought partner
  • Demonstrate a strong entrepreneurial drive and ownership mentality to resolve ambiguous problems
  • Exhibit exceptional organizational and project management skills with the ability to drive global projects to outcomes in cross-functional areas and complex topics
  • Navigate difficult situations with maturity and confidence as a values-based firm member
  • Demonstrate outstanding written and oral communication skills in English, with the ability to adapt messaging for different audiences and craft clear, cohesive storylines and communications
