Overview

The Health and Life Sciences (HLS) practice helps clients in the payer, provider, digital health, and life sciences sectors realize their most ambitious organizational and operational visions by bridging the gap between their business today and their vision for the future. At Oliver Wyman, we are focused on creating positive change in healthcare, but we know we can’t do it all ourselves. Together, with today’s leading healthcare experts and innovators, we’ve built a community to share and shape ideas that will transform healthcare. We work to ensure industry transformation through generating meaningful client impact, delivering strategic insights, and creating a healthcare system that meets the needs of communities and companies.

Who We Are

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

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.

ASSOCIATES

You 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 plan and execute analysis, identify core issues, 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. Associates provide unique insight into the subject area they have chosen.

ENGAGEMENT MANAGERS

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. You will demonstrate thought leadership at the strategic level, command all technical and operational details of execution, and forge strong relationships with clients. Strong communication skills are essential.

What You Will Bring

We are seeking high‑caliber individuals who want to join our winning team. Preference will be given to candidates with:

• 4‑10 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top‑tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization)
• In‑depth knowledge of the Health & Life Sciences 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 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

Why Work at Oliver Wyman

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.

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