Serving 90% of the 100 largest global companies, McKinsey is a global firm, with over 130 offices in 65 countries, linked by closely-knit industry and functional practices that concentrate on knowledge and expertise.
Since 2018, we have invested nearly $1 billion to upgrade our internal risk, legal, and compliance capabilities as part of our ambition to lead our industry—and we have recruited some of the world's best talent to help.
Among other enhancements, we introduced an industry-leading client service framework (CITIO), which helps us vet each new client and guides our approach to projects.
Our commitment extends to our suppliers and internal systems, where we have improved cybersecurity controls, data and document retention, and process management.

The E&C function's mission is to manage risks to the firm, our clients, and our people, while also enabling the firm's client impact and innovation.
The E&C function is a globally integrated team within the second line of defense of the firm.
McKinsey has an E&C program that is structured in a way that ensures that it is well designed, empowered to function effectively, and works in practice.
Our E&C program includes a clear message that misconduct is not tolerated as well as policies, procedures, training, monitoring, and consequence management to ensure the program is well-integrated into the firm's operations and workforce.

As part of this, you will oversee weekly program-level reporting (progress, dependencies, planned next steps, and risks and mitigants) working with other stakeholders to accurately reflect these dimensions in reporting.
You will also provide regular updates to the firm leadership, E&C program oversight committees, and E&C leadership on the status of initiatives in response to regulatory obligations.
To continuously improve project performance against KPIs and metrics, you will conduct post-activity reviews, gather lessons learned, and refine project management practices.
To improve the efficiency of the transformation, you will oversee the build of a robust ecosystem of program management systems and tools to drive program execution.
You will also support implementation and enhancement of software solutions for program management tracking, using, as feasible, common systems and tools used in other functions.
You will also serve as the primary contact for specific E&C program-related questions and queries from internal and external stakeholders.
Collaboration is a key aspect of this role.
You will manage interactions with cross-functional leaders, program leadership, and governance teams to resolve roadblocks and ensure smooth implementation.
Additionally, you will lead a high-impact team to deliver against priorities, supporting their growth and development needs through processes such as review, recruitment, and coaching.
