Technology Innovation – Senior Consultant/Associate/Engagement Manager – London

At Oliver Wyman, a Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) business, we bring deep industry insight, bold innovation, and a collaborative approach that cuts through complexity to help organizations navigate their most defining transformative moments. Together with Marsh Risk, Guy Carpenter, and Mercer, we help organizations build resilience and competitive advantages from every angle.

The Technology Innovation team (within the Performance Transformation practice) supports clients in shaping and delivering technology-enabled transformation so that they can improve business performance, increase transparency, reduce risk and unlock measurable value from technology, data and AI. Our approach combines strategic technology advisory with hands-on delivery support, helping clients move from rapid assessment and value creation roadmaps through to implementation, transformation governance and sustainable impact.

Our core work is divided into 5 pillars:

• IT Strategy: Help clients align their technology agenda with business strategy, define target-state IT capabilities, build robust business cases and develop pragmatic technology roadmaps that improve performance and prepare the organization for the future.
• IT Efficiency: Support clients in improving the efficiency and transparency of their technology function, optimizing build and run costs, increasing value delivered per euro spent, and implementing dashboards and governance mechanisms to measure progress and performance.
• IT Program Risks & Cyber: Help clients de-risk complex technology and transformation programs through program risk assessments, project planning reviews, cyber and technology maturity assessments, transformation management office support, and program assurance and oversight.
• Tech Assessment TDD: Advise clients, investors and corporate leaders on technology due diligence, red-flag assessments, roadmap validation and value creation opportunities in the context of acquisitions, integrations, carve-outs, PMI and post-deal transformation.
• Data & AI: Help clients define and scale their data, analytics, AI and GenAI strategies, identify high-value use cases, and build the data enablement foundations required to generate measurable business impact from advanced technologies.

Our team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise and a passion for technology-led transformation to support our continued expansion in this high-growth area.

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.

SENIOR CONSULTANTS play a key role in delivering client engagements, taking ownership of major workstreams from problem structuring through analysis, synthesis, and recommendation development. You will work independently to solve complex problems, manage priorities, and ensure your work is rigorous, relevant, and actionable. You will collaborate closely with clients and senior team members, while also supporting and coaching junior colleagues. Senior Consultants are expected to combine strong analytical skills with sound judgment, team leadership, and an increasingly confident client presence.

ASSOCIATES 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 as well as identify the core issues in complex analyses in order to be able to craft suitable recommendations. You’ll work side by side with clients and your project team members to move projects forward and manage small teams to get the work done.

ENGAGEMENT MANAGERS are the on-scene leaders who run our projects day to day. You will lead the team through an efficient and effective problem-solving process from initial thought process through convergence on a solution. You will ensure that recommendations are correct, practical, sensible, relevant and cohesive. It’s a role that demands thought leadership at the strategic level – and command of all the technical and operational details of execution. You will need great communication skills and the ability to forge strong relationships.

What You Will Bring:

• At least 3 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization) or with industry experience from a strategy department or inhouse consulting with a focus on technology innovation.
• 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 German language 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.

OLIVER WYMAN VALUES:

• Be brave: We stand behind our beliefs while exploring what drives them. We stand up for what is right and persevere through difficulty.
• Lead with heart: We build relationships with clients and colleagues that last, grounded in transparency, authenticity, and trust.
• Strive for breakthroughs: We bring deep expertise and profound curiosity to the pursuit of ambitious ideas and uncommon insights.
• Work as one: We succeed as a unified team of colleagues and clients, achieving together what separately would be beyond our reach.
• Own our impact: We act as entrepreneurs and stewards of the firm. We own the journey, acting with integrity at every step.

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.
