The Role and Responsibilities

Experienced professionals bring us the know‑how to make lasting change for our clients and our company. We are not typical ‘management’ consultants. We provide deep industry‑ and discipline‑specific knowledge and expertise, which amplifies our impact and helps us shape the future for our clients. Oliver Wyman is a diverse, entrepreneurial, non‑competitive partnership of individuals who like to pursue new opportunities or build a unique franchise doing what they do best in a collegial, fun environment.

Senior Consultants

Senior Consultants have enough experience to ask the right questions, frame hypotheses and initiate research to find the answers. As a Senior Consultant, you will be shaping the problems that we work on and developing specialized expertise that others will seek out.

Associates

Associates break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements. You will effectively plan and execute analysis and identify the core issues in complex analyses in order to craft suitable recommendations. You’ll work side by side with clients and your project team members to move projects forward and manage small teams to get the work done. Clients and colleagues look to Associates for unique insight into the subject area that they have chosen.
