Our Private Capital practice is a world leading advisor to private equity and institutional investors, and a high growth area for the Firm, working with many of the most significant global and local private investors and their portfolio companies.

Real Estate is one of the largest invested-in asset classes globally and is undergoing rapid change, not least from digitization, decarbonization and operationalization. We boldly serve clients to drive sustainable and inclusive growth.

The team pairs extensive expertise with deep functional knowledge to help our clients reimagine the role of space. We serve a variety of real estate leaders across the ecosystem, from investors and developers, to corporate occupiers and innovators. We work on a wide range of topics including investment strategy, digital and advanced analytics, people and operating... model, holistic transformation and large-scale development.

You will work in teams and directly with our clients. You will also work with the wider McKinsey network including a range of experts in the firm, from industry and functional experts to data scientists to researchers to software and app designers.

Your impact within our firmYou will work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants to support clients on their real estate agenda.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to assess market attractiveness, provide targeted information and specialized analysis on strategy, as well as prepare and deliver high-impact verbal and written communication of your synthesized findings. You will also have the opportunity to work globally with clients in reimagining the role of space, which sometimes involve digital and organizational transformations. You will be a subject matter expert on real estate topics. You will be recognized as a valuable source of experience, information and expertise, both inside the firm and by our clients.

You will receive training on how to better structure ambiguous problems and take action to solve them, synthesize clear takeaways from complex information into clear takeaways and recommendations, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will work effectively with diverse teams to come up with the best solution and move people and organizations to act.
