Research Analyst - Mckinsey Solutions, Finalta Insurance

Who You'll Work With You will work in our Lisbon office with our Finalta Insurance team as part of McKinsey's Financial Institution Group (FIG) Practice. Building on twenty years' experience working with leading banks and insurers, Finalta's benchmarking work combines deep industry knowledge and proprietary performance data from more than 350 financial institutions in over 50 countries to generate insights on how our clients can achieve superior performance. Our annual benchmarking studies enable clients to objectively assess their performance against peers and quantify opportunities for improvement. This, combined with our case studies, insights and recommendations give clients a roadmap to reach world-class performance while reducing the time, cost, and risk of change. What You'll Do Throughout our 6-month benchmarking study cycles, you will work with multiple clients simultaneously. You will have high levels of responsibility from the start as your role on the project team is to be the owner of the dataset, engaging directly with your clients to gather, validate and assess the quality of the data before working with your team to explore hypotheses and generate insights from your analysis. Our benchmarks are typically repeated annually giving you the opportunity to build specialist expertise in a specific topic, market or client. You will have a specific portfolio of clients to manage, each cycle, and will often interact with other teams working on the same benchmark in other regions. This connection to our wide and diverse team will expose you to different perspectives, innovative ideas, and global trends, further enhancing your professional growth and development. This role does not involve a lot of travel or time spent on client sites but we may meet clients in person for the presentation of our findings.
