WHO WE ARE

Oliver Wyman is a global leader in management consulting. With offices in 70 cities across 30 countries Oliver Wyman combines deep industry knowledge with specialized expertise in strategy, operations, risk management and organization transformation.

Practice Overview

Oliver Wyman is looking to strengthen the Private Capital team in the IMEA region. We are looking for professionals within the industry who possess knowledge or content expertise in Private Equity, M&A, Corporate Finance and Advisory. The team serves investors and strategic clients throughout the transaction lifecycle: from opportunity identification, through due diligence, M&A and on to post‑transaction value realization. We achieve this through proven results‑oriented approaches across all sectors of the market.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a successful team where you will be given the opportunity for rapid professional growth, to participate in entrepreneurial work and to share in the success of the team.

The Role And Responsibilities

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

Responsible for breaking down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements. The Associate will effectively plan and execute analysis as well as 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 which they have chosen.

• Manage individual project modules, including developing hypotheses, managing data collection, model creation and analyses, conducting primary and secondary research, creatively tackling information limitations and surfacing insights.
• Report to Engagement Managers and Principals, effectively seeking guidance on technical and senior‑level steering of projects.
• Aid client meetings by preparing materials, conducting interviews and facilitating workshops.
• Support business development by contributing to proposal development.
• Coach and develop the capabilities of junior consulting staff.

Your Attributes And Experience

Clients hire Oliver Wyman for specialized expertise; the ideal candidate will have most of the following:

• At least 46 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top‑tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization).
• Experience in Investment Companies, Funds, M&A, Due Diligence.
• Experience with Private Equity, Corporate and Finance across industries.
• Experience managing teams and clients and delivering against tight deadlines in fast‑paced, demanding environments.
• Ability to apply depth of content knowledge for thought leadership in projects.
• Outstanding communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior executives both internally and among clients.
• A strong background in strategic problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills.
• Have an aptitude for analytical work.
• Know how to take initiative, seeking opportunities to learn new skills and put the ones you’ve already got to good use.
• An undergraduate or advanced degree from a top academic program.
• Willingness to travel.
