Overview
Consulting – APS Implementation Specialist - SCM Connections
Job ID: 102268
Your Impact You will spend a significant part of your time working with McKinsey clients to design and implement advanced digital planning solutions.

You will specialize in APS software implementations (o9, SAP/IBP), advanced planning analytics, configuration of advanced statistical forecasting models with a focus on driving continuous improvement and machine learning solutions.
As part of your role, you will work closely with solution architects to develop clear functional and technical design, document data requirements and build complex datasets, and configure the APS platform based on the blueprint laid out during design to solve deep operations / supply chain problems.

Your colleagues-at all levels-will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients.
