WHO WE ARE

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.

Our team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise in Life Sciences (i.e., Pharmaceuticals, MedTech, BioTechnology) to support our continued expansion in this sector, which is experiencing significant growth. We are specifically looking for candidates with experience in commercial strategy, digital & technology and operations improvement .

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. 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.

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

Just as every client project is different, so we recognize and value the diversity of backgrounds and skill sets 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 5-7 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization).

Sector knowledge within the life sciences arena.

A strong background in strategic problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills.

Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in both formal and informal settings.

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.
