Oliver Wyman is the leading global management consulting firm that partners with the world’s foremost financial institutions to address their most significant challenges, delivering breakthrough impact during periods of unprecedented economic disruption and turmoil.

You will join the Financial Services Accelerator team where you may work across the wide variety of clients that we serve. Once you have built your expertise and consulting craft you can join one of our teams focused on serving the leading clients in their sector.  

Oliver Wyman stands out with deep financial services expertise, data-driven problem-solving, hands-on execution, and an entrepreneurial culture that drives real impact for clients.  We have practices that cover:

Corporate and Institutional Banking

We draw on a deep knowledge of our clients' businesses and our own in-depth industry research to develop sustainable strategies for corporate and institutional banking firms.

Insurance and Asset Management

We bring our expertise, strategic thinking, analytical insight, and innovation to create value for the leading property and casualty, life, and health insurers and reinsurers.

Retail and Business Banking

We advise leading banks, credit institutions, payments companies, and investment firms to design and implement business strategies aimed at serving consumer households and small and medium-sized businesses.

Finance and Treasury Management

We advise our clients on corporate finance and treasury strategy, integrated planning, cost takeout strategies, and operations, data, and technology transformation.

Risk Management for Financial Services

We support clients in developing strategies, governance, methodologies, processes, change management initiatives, and infrastructure to measure and manage the risks they face.

Wealth Management

Helping wealth managers and private equity clients achieve outsized impact through deep industry expertise, proprietary assets, and frontier thought leadership.

Digital Assets

We work with disruptors, incumbents, investors, and public policymakers to navigate and position themselves in the rapidly evolving digital assets landscape.

The Role and Responsibilities

Experienced professionals bring the know-how to make lasting change for our clients and our company.

Oliver Wyman is a diverse, entrepreneurial, collaborative partnership of people who like to pursue new opportunities or build a unique franchise doing what they do best in a collegial and fun environment.

For us consulting is a team sport, and you will work alongside knowledgeable and motivated colleagues. You will break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identify the key aspects of a problem, and direct the focus to execute those elements. You will effectively plan and execute analysis, as well as identify the core issues in complex analyses, to craft suitable recommendations. You’ll work side by side with clients and your project team members to move projects forward and manage the execution of project modules to get the work done.

• 3+ years of relevant experience in Financial Services, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm or with an industry track record of managing teams or work streams and delivering against tight deadlines in fast-paced and demanding environments.
• In-depth knowledge within the Financial Services industry; breadth across or depth within one of our practice areas is preferred.
