Job Overview

The Oliver Wyman Forum is seeking a Senior Analyst to help shape and deliver research that equips senior leaders with timely, actionable insight on the forces transforming industry and society.

You’ll bring strong analytical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and clarity of communication to fast-moving projects that explore emerging trends and strategic challenges.

You’ll also collaborate with a cross-functional team of design, editorial, marketing, and events professionals to translate research into compelling content and experiences for a C-suite audience. This is a role for someone who thrives in an agile environment, values clarity over complexity, and wants to shape thinking at the highest levels of business and policy.
