About this role
Company: Oliver Wyman
Description:
Who we are Oliver Wyman is a global management consulting firm. We work with clients through their most defining moments, combining deep industry knowledge, specialized expertise, and the power of perspective to help them adapt, grow, and thrive. We believe diverse perspectives make the work stronger. Our consultants bring different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking to help solve complex problems and create lasting impact for clients, colleagues, and communities. At Oliver Wyman, we are proud of the values that we aspire to live by. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. Within Oliver Wyman, the Data & Analytics (DNA) division was established in 2017 and operates globally, with a particular focus on Europe. We are a dynamic and rapidly growing team of quantitative analytics specialists, collaborating closely with colleagues across the firm. Our work spans multiple industries, including Financial Services, Climate & Sustainability, Energy, Retail, and Transportation.
What you will do As a member of Oliver Wyman’s Data & Analytics team, you will help clients make better decisions on some of their most important business challenges. You will combine analytical thinking, business understanding, and technical expertise to develop solutions that are both rigorous and practical. You will contribute throughout the project lifecycle: structuring the client’s problem, identifying the decisions that analysis needs to support, assessing the available data, and selecting an appropriate analytical approach. You will conduct analyses, build and validate models or tools, and translate the results into clear recommendations. As you develop, you will take increasing ownership of analytical modules and engage directly with clients and senior colleagues. You will also be an active member of the project team: sharing your ideas, discussing results with colleagues and clients, and helping turn analytical findings into meaningful recommendations and impact. Examples of the work you could contribute to include:
• Building an AI toolkit to predict credit rating downgrades from news articles. • Modeling portfolio decarbonization strategies for European banks. • Optimizing promotions for an Asian health & beauty chain using advanced analytics. • Validating a customer-facing GenAI chatbot for a bank. • Designing credit risk models in Python for banks in Europe. • Identifying supply chain risks using live data and AI.
