Job Overview:

Oliver Wyman’s Banking & Financial Services (BFS) practice is expanding its market presence and client engagement. We are seeking a Senior Manager to help lead marketing strategy and activations for BFS, owning end-to-end campaign planning and execution, mentoring junior marketers, and acting as a dependable second-in-command to the Director. The role blends strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, operational delivery, and team leadership to deliver visible, measurable impact across the practice.

This Senior Manager will be the operational and strategic engine for BFS marketing: a visible leader who turns practice strategy into measurable market traction, builds durable partner relationships, and uplifts the marketing team. The role requires a self-starter who can step into Director responsibilities and maintain momentum with minimal supervision.

This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in the office.  There is no option to be fully remote.

Experience required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience). Advanced degree or certificates in marketing/analytics a plus.
