What You Will Do

Experienced professionals bring us the know‑how to make lasting change for our clients and our company. We position ourselves as a pure player in strategy consulting. We provide deep industry‑ and discipline‑specific knowledge and expertise, which amplifies our impact and helps us shape the future for our clients. 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.

Associate analysts will break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements. You will effectively plan and execute analysis, identify the core issues in complex analyses, and craft suitable recommendations. You will 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 they have chosen.

Principals are experts in particular content areas and provide day‑to‑day leadership of complex client projects and aspects of the client relationship and commercial process, teaming with Partners. They ensure on‑time delivery that meets or exceeds agreed‑upon goals, leveraging Oliver Wyman best practice, their own expertise and the firm’s technical competence. They become trusted advisors to senior clients, with the ability to guide and influence their thinking, and to be viewed as experts in particular content areas.

What You Will Bring

• 6–10 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top‑tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization)
• In‑depth knowledge of the insurance sector
• Strong analytical and synthesis skills and ability to conduct and leverage sophisticated analyses to identify trends, draw conclusions and present recommendations
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in both formal and informal settings
• Fluency in English and Italian is required
• An undergraduate or advanced degree from a top academic program
• Willingness to travel
• 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

Balanced Lives

We value people whose lives balance work and non‑work activities because we believe they are both more interesting colleagues and are 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. We seek balance for ourselves and our colleagues.
