Banking & Financial Services - Associate & Engagement Manager

We continuously strive to be the trusted advisor for financial sector leaders, supporting them on their most critical and complex problems and delivering impact and transformations for them. Our portfolio of clients ranges from the top regional banks to investors, capital markets, insurers, central banks, and ministries of finance. Widely recognized as influential thought-leaders, we draw on a deep understanding of our clients' businesses and our own in-depth industry knowledge to develop sustainable strategies and cutting-edge policies for the top companies and governments in the region, working closely with senior executives and top leaders of regional governments.

Our team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise to support our continued expansion in this sector, which is experiencing significant growth.

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.

Associates 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 as well as identify the core issues in complex analyses in order to be able to 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 which they have chosen.

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.

Just as every client project is different, so we recognize and value the diversity of backgrounds and skillsets for successful candidates. We are seeking high-caliber individuals who want to join our winning team. Preference will be given to candidates with:

• At least 4-8 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization)
• In-depth knowledge of the banking 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 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

Working as part of our global, entrepreneurial company, you will do meaningful work from day one. We are looking for individuals who challenge the norm, and constantly strive to build something new for the firm and the world around us.
