We are not typical ‘management’ consultants. We provide industry- and discipline-specific knowledge and expertise, which amplifies our impact and helps us shape the future for our clients. The team is looking for experienced professionals who are already working in or are interested in focusing on one or a subset of various industries, serving private equity clients. These industries include:
Fin Tech, Aerospace & Defense and Education. Oliver Wyman is a diverse and entrepreneurial partnership of individuals who like to pursue new opportunities or build a unique franchise doing what they do best in a collegial, fun environment. Clients hire Oliver Wyman for specialized expertise. The ideal candidate will have most of the following:

• Professional working experience with experience or exposure to commercial due diligence in a management consulting firm.
• Individuals who have worked across or within industries within Private Equity.
• Knowledge and in-depth experience with customer research techniques (interviews, surveys, focus groups, etc.).
• A strong background in strategic problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in both formal and informal settings.
• Fluent in English.
• An undergraduate or advanced degree from a strong academic program.
• Know how to take the initiative, seeking out opportunities to learn new skills and put the ones you’ve already got to good use.
• Not just intelligence, but creativity too: you’ll be ready to come up with novel ideas to solve our clients’ biggest problems.
• Have an aptitude for analytical work, like sniffing out clues in massive data sets or hunting down the key issues in a hugely complex challenge.
• A willingness to work fluidly and respectfully with our incredibly talented team.

We’re serious about making OW a rewarding, progressive, enjoyable and balanced place to work.

• Self-starters and free thinkers who work well in a team.
• Common aspiration, collective endeavour, shared success.
• Straightforward, open, respectful interaction.
• Opportunity without artificial barriers.
• Balanced lives. We value people whose lives balance work and non-work activities because we believe they are both more interesting colleagues and able to make better contributions to the Firm. We push ourselves hard to deliver excellence, but we also work to extract the maximum benefit from the flexibility of a project-based business. We provide the ability to take career breaks for personal or family reasons.
  
  We fundamentally value each other’s time and are sensitive to how it is used. We are an output not input-based culture, have respect for people’s personal decisions, and believe that one's workload must be sustainable.
