Your Growth

You will join our growing and entrepreneurial McKinsey Hydrogen Insights team focused on developing distinctive insights and intelligence tools.

We are our firm’s think tank counseling clients on topics across the entire hydrogen and clean fuels value chain. You will be based in our Munich office in Germany as part of the international McKinsey Hydrogen Insights Solution team (main hubs are Munich and Boston, with colleagues globally).

You’ll collaborate with hydrogen and clean fuels enthusiasts and experts from our broader hydrogen service line and other sustainability solution teams to address our clients’ most challenging questions on decarbonization.

As a Hydrogen Analyst within the McKinsey Hydrogen Insights Solution Team, you will be at the forefront of our work in hydrogen and clean fuels, making a tangible impact by supporting large-scale decarbonization across sectors.

Working mainly with our core solution team, leadership, McKinsey experts, and client service teams, you will support clients directly over time by delivering proprietary assets, developing insights, and establishing yourself as a hydrogen and clean fuels expert.

This is a highly entrepreneurial role with room for initiative and personal growth. You will gain new skills, build on your strengths, and receive exceptional training, coaching, and mentoring from colleagues across the firm.
