Who We Are
Our Operations (OPS) practice assists our clients to shape the future of their operations so that they can achieve their strategic goals and deliver sustainable and industry-leading business performance. Our approach to Procurement is focused on sustainable business impact, not only reducing costs, but setting up solid foundations for comprehensive transformation. We bring the latest digital solutions and techniques, to build more agile and resilient procurement functions for the future, acting as architects of the extended company.
We formulate holistic strategies for value creation and redesign procurement operating models, incorporating key elements such as risk management and sustainability in the Supply Chain.

We go beyond achieving elusive cost savings by ensuring our clients maximize their competitive advantage through the implementation of innovative, sustainable, and data-driven sourcing solutions across the entire procurement value chain. Furthermore, our strategies extend to generating top-line results, fostering revenue growth, and enhancing overall business performance through Procurement.
What You Will Do
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.
ASSOCIATES will break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements.

It’s a role that demands thought leadership at the strategic level – and command of all the technical and operational details of execution. You will need great communication skills and the ability to forge strong relationships.
What You Will Bring

• 6 -8 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization)

• Fluency in English and German is required
• Advanced graduate degree and excellent academic record
• Willingness to travel
• Know how to take the initiative, seeking out opportunities to learn new skills and put the ones you’ve already got to good use
