Apprentice Data Analyst Jobs in Baltimore, MD (NOW HIRING)

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You've come to the right place.
YOUR IMPACT
As a Capabilities & Insights (C&I) Analyst in the Digital & Technology Insights (DTi) team, you will be an integral part of McKinsey's client delivery engine, working side by side with consultants and experts to help organizations transform through data, technology, and digital innovation. You'll combine analytical rigor with business acumen to shape client recommendations, drive decision-making, and strengthen McKinsey's knowledge assets globally.
You'll often participate in team problem-solving discussions and, over time, contribute directly to client conversations - ensuring that insights are not just accurate, but actionable and strategically relevant.
You will be based in Lisbon, Portugal and you will play a pivotal role in guiding our consultants to leverage cutting-edge offerings, products, and insights to solve complex client challenges.
Your impact within our firm will be multifaceted, contributing to both client success and the advancement of our internal knowledge and operational excellence. In this role, you will be responsible for delivering DTi diagnostics, insights and products across the world, particularly on Technology Strategy and Productivity Performance topics, with a focus on clients in Europe.
In this exciting position, you will be at the intersection of technology, digital, AI and business, providing essential support to our client-service teams. You will engage with these teams to scope and prioritize project requests and business needs. You will clarify and scope objectives to determine the most appropriate offerings, insights, data, and products. This involves deploying standard offerings and products with minimal guidance, interpreting the outputs of these, and conducting medium-complexity data-driven analyses. Your ability to prepare accurate, well-developed documents, databases, models, solution outputs, and ready-to-use charts will be instrumental in driving client success.
Beyond client work, you will contribute to our knowledge, tech-enablement, and operational agenda. You will support the development and maintenance of databases, products, offerings and knowledge codification, working closely with senior colleagues on product development and knowledge creation initiatives. Your contributions will extend to client development efforts, such as creating client proposals and use-case examples that showcase our expertise. You will analyze data sets by developing scripts to validate, transform, and load data, creating insights that help drive our clients to action.
Over time, you will increasingly serve as a subject matter expert to McKinsey colleagues and our clients on digital, analytics, AI and technology topics, contributing to building our diagnostics, product development, and reach and relevance initiatives. Your journey at McKinsey will be one of continuous growth and development, ensuring that you remain at the forefront of industry advancements.
In a typical week, you might help a global bank assess its technology cost performance, support a retailer's technology transformation readiness assessment, or contribute to elevating our internal operational excellence leveraging GenAI solutions. No two projects are the same - and each offers a chance to create visible client impact through data and technology.
