I was looking at the career page and (at least for the Doha office) there's no dedicated implementation team. Is it so?

Hello!

In line with what Antonello has said, this would be included in the Ops practice, so that is what you should target in this specific region.

Cheers,

Clara

Hi, I confirm they do not have a specific implementation team but they have the operations practice, where implementation is included. I recommend applying for an ops role if you are looking for it

Best,
Antonello

Hi there,

Just to add to the other answers here, make sure to talk to HR! Regardless of what we say here, the best source of info is from the horse's mouth!

Hey there,

McK operates on a global PnL with global staffing. Even if they do not have a dedicated team in the location of your choice it might make sense to talk to HR about your ambitions and see if this could be possible from Doha.

Cheers,

Florian

McKinsey Middle East office has Elixir which is a Saudi Arabian change management and implemntation consultancy acquired a few years ago. McKinsey Implementation is now renamed as part of a larger group called McKinsey Accelerate. It would suprise me that there is no local team.

If they don't have a dedicated group in the office, they'll support from other offices.
