The opportunity

On any given day, the Illustrator at McKinsey & Company juggles Teamwork and Interpersonal Skills, and somehow makes both look deliberate. Picture this: a contract Illustrator seat in Denver, paying $56,000 - $84,000, where 1 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry the Strategic Planning thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Coach newer junior teammates through their first messy general project
  • Question the brief when the brief doesn't match reality
  • Keep showing up for the Denver, CO work after the launch buzz fades
  • Coordinate scheduling, resources, and logistics for assigned tasks
  • Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for review by leadership

What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • 1 years that taught you which corners can be cut
  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Junior mastery of Interpersonal Skills, validated by people who'd hire you again

Three things define McKinsey & Company: a Denver address, a feedback-driven culture, and a near-religious devotion to Delegation. The door to every manager at McKinsey & Company is genuinely open, calendar permitting and politics aside.

We offer $56,000 - $84,000 and the things money cannot fake, real mentorship, lasting benefits, and flexibility you will actually use.

Fresh as of this morning, McKinsey & Company marked the junior seat available.

If this sounds like the right fit, we would love to receive your resume.
