Ambitious About Autism - Data and Analytics Internship in Newcastle upon Tyne

About Oliver Wyman

Oliver Wyman is a global management consultancy with strong relationships in industry, government, and non‑profit organisations. We create teams of experts to work on each part of our clients’ complex problems.

What is the data & analytics practice?

Data and Analytics is a specialist business unit within Oliver Wyman, set up in 2017 in Newcastle‑upon‑Tyne and has since expanded to Milan and Berlin. We are a dynamic, fast‑growing team of quantitative analytics specialists. We work closely with our colleagues across Oliver Wyman to cover a global footprint, working across multiple industries including but not limited to Financial Services, Insurance, Retail and Transportation. Clients hire us for our analytical rigour with a relentless focus on client impact. The Newcastle team has grown to 30 people, with a mixture of quantitative expertise ranging from Analysts to Directors.

We are looking for Entry Level Graduates looking to pursue a career in quantitative analytics. Specific quantitative experience is not required – working with us offers excellent career and growth opportunities for highly motivated individuals with relevant education in a quantitative subject. We are passionate about developing our people and support your progression to Partner. We are looking for candidates who are excited to work in an entrepreneurial environment, focused on delivering impact.

Role description

Offering the same responsibilities as our Entry Level Analyst role, this internship allows the opportunity to have exposure to the type of work we do and our team culture. There will be the opportunity to obtain the training and guidance of a blue‑chip consulting firm, while at the same time being part of an ambitious startup. There will be opportunities to travel with a mix of around 50% of time spent at the client site vs off site, though individual needs will be considered when staffing off‑site/onsite roles. You will be offered in depth training, above and beyond what is typical for an Oliver Wyman consultant.

Duties include:

• Managing the execution of individual project workstreams, including:
• Developing hypotheses
• Managing data collection, model creation and analyses
• Conducting primary and secondary research
