Junior Research Analyst – Oil & Gas

Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

You’ll help consulting teams with research requirements on client projects on all oil & gas related matters.

You will be responsible for working with consultants to scope and prioritize their research needs, identifying the key issues through discussions with requestors and, on that basis, to determine the most appropriate, cost-effective and timely research solutions. You will then gather the necessary raw information using a broad spectrum of sources and will organize, analyze, and synthesize the findings into targeted, McKinsey-formatted end products. These end products may be in the form of single exhibits, written summaries, basic fact packs, and spreadsheets.

Additionally, you are encouraged to build a solid knowledge base, developing an appropriately broad understanding of the relevant structure, players, and trends in your topic area(s) and deepening your expertise overtime.
