Your Impact
You will join McKinsey's San José, Costa Rica office as part of our Life Sciences Intelligence (LSi) team. This is a hybrid role, with 2-3 days per week working in-person from McKinsey's San José office and potential travel to additional McKinsey or client offices based on project needs.

In this role, you will have opportunities for high levels of interaction with Life Sciences consultants and the rest of the LSi team.

In this role, you will work with McKinsey colleagues and clients on Life Sciences R&D topics, with a specific focus on Clinical Development. Projects may involve topics such as protocol design benchmarking, trial site selection, study startup orchestration, enrollment support, submission excellence, along with other topics in Development. You may also work on projects involving pre-clinical or early development topics, or on broader R&D and portfolio strategy for pharmaceutical companies. Most projects will be with pharmaceutical companies, but with potential for additional projects with biotech or CRO clients.

You will be working with McKinsey colleagues and clients - a multitude of diverse individuals - to scope business questions and understand, disaggregate, and prioritize their information needs in client engagements.

You will then communicate insights and deliver end products to clients and McKinsey consulting teams in a variety of formats, including memos, PowerPoint presentations and tables.

We believe the Life Sciences R&D practice has exciting years ahead, as we expand our portfolio of offerings in clinical development and change the way we work to incorporate new tech-enabled capabilities in our work across R&D. You will be core to this work, and will help to meaningfully develop and advance our portfolio of proprietary analytical and knowledge assets.

In addition to working with consulting teams and clients, you will continuously develop your knowledge and skills in Life Sciences R&D. Together with LSi colleagues and Life Sciences R&D leadership, you will analyze new topics and trends and integrate them into our existing capabilities infrastructure, or potentially develop new offerings.

You can expect extensive coaching and further development opportunities. In addition to mentoring from experienced colleagues, you will regularly take part in high-quality internal training.

About the Role

Our dedicated Public Safety Response team actively supports law enforcement and public health officials 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The global team consists of highly trained public safety specialists who respond to data requests, prioritizing community safety and ensuring compliance with our legal guidelines.

As the Learning & Development Specialist for PSRT, you'll be instrumental in shaping the initial experience of new specialists.

Your goal is to ensure a consistently engaging and welcoming experience right from day one.

This includes guiding them through the crucial onboarding stage, providing hands-on training for essential tools, and thoroughly teaching them how to effectively process requests submitted by law enforcement and public health officials to PSRT.

Champion Feedback and Continuous Improvement: Proactively gather constructive feedback from new hires and key stakeholders on the onboarding experience and training content and share these insights with the L&D team to refine the training program. Continuously observe and assess the effectiveness of our training delivery, identifying areas where materials or facilitation techniques can be enhanced. Communicate these valuable insights and suggested improvements to the global L&D team to support the continuous improvement of our PSRT L&D initiatives.

Provide Operational Support: In addition to your primary training duties, you may be asked to assist with other PSRT operational tasks, such as stepping in to help with requests from Law Enforcement and performing quality assurance (QA) checks on data requests when needed. This support ensures the team's overall productivity and quality remain high, especially during peak times or when other team members are unavailable.

What You'll Need

Facilitation & Presentation Skills: Outstanding facilitation, presentation, and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences and adapt delivery styles to maximize learning for new PSRT specialists.

Translating Complexity into Clarity: A strong ability to quickly understand and then effectively take complex training curriculum and technical information and break it down into easily digestible, clear, and actionable insights for those new to the subject.

Feedback-Oriented Mindset: Demonstrated ability to collect and interpret feedback effectively, contributing to continuous improvement of existing programs.

Empathy and Approachability: A highly empathetic, patient, and approachable demeanor, capable of creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment for new team members.

Organizational Skills: Strong organizational skills with an eye for detail to ensure smooth execution of training schedules and materials.

Nice To Have
