Job Description
Your Impact
As a Risk Specialist located in Asia, you will be an integral part of our Client Service Risk (CSR) team. This team plays a crucial role in advising firm leadership on managing risks throughout the client engagement lifecycle, including client selection, work scope management, and adapting to operational changes. The mission of CSR is to facilitate client impact and innovation while effectively managing risks to our clients, our people, and the firm. Our globally integrated team comprises professionals from diverse backgrounds such as communications, consulting, government, and law.
In this role, you will provide guidance to McKinsey's Partners on optimizing client service and thought leadership while mitigating associated risks. You will advise Partners on managing potential risks in client engagements across Asia, in alignment with firm policies. Your responsibilities will include developing briefing materials and coordinating discussions for the Client Service Risk Committee, a global body of firm leaders that advises on complex, high-risk engagements. You will lead risk assessments across Asian offices, focusing on key risks and developing mitigation strategies, particularly in technology areas such as IT modernization, Agile, cloud, cybersecurity, generative AI, and digital transformation. To achieve this, you will collaborate closely with various firm functions (including Communications, Finance, and Legal) and 'cells' (practices, offices, new delivery models) to address multifaceted issues.
Additionally, you will contribute to raising awareness of risk policies and compliance processes, manage incidents, respond to crises, and conduct "after action" assessments. You will also engage in global initiatives, such as policy reviews, as part of our global Risk function.
You will report to the Senior Director of Risk, Asia.
