Oliver Wyman

**Switzerland - Zurich**

**Engagement Manager or Principal (M/F/d) | INSURANCE**

**WHO WE ARE**

Oliver Wyman’s Insurance practice supports its clients with leading edge topics.

Our client list includes almost all top global insurers in both life and non-life, along with all major domestic insurers as well as other market participants such as investors or distribution companies.

The Oliver Wyman Insurance practice uniquely combines deep strategy expertise, a thorough quantitative understanding and rich implementation experience. As a business of Marsh & McLennan, we have further very strong assets in insurance with Mercer, Marsh, and Guy Carpenter.

We set ourselves apart by providing our clients with specialist knowledge in topics across the entire insurance value chain from top of the house strategy to finance and risk to operations.

**WHAT YOU WILL DO**

Experienced professionals bring us the know-how to make lasting change for our clients and our company. We are not typical ‘management’ consultants. We provide 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.

**PRINCIPALS** are experts in particular content areas and provide day-to-day leadership of complex client projects and aspects of the client relationship and commercial process, teaming with Partners. They ensure on-time delivery that meets or exceeds agreed upon goals, leveraging Oliver Wyman best practice, their own expertise and the firm’s technical competence. They become trusted advisors to senior clients, with the ability to guide and influence their thinking, and to be viewed as experts in particular content areas.

Oliver Wyman Principals are seen as Partners of the future and, as such, are fully engaged in building business through identifying new and expanded opportunities; they create exciting and additive intellectual capital through thought leadership and are knowledgeable on a broad range of adjacent topics. Principals develop others and build a strong personal brand both within and outside the firm.

**WHAT YOU WILL BRING**
- At least 5-7 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm or large insurer (or other similar organizations)
- Strong background in problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in both formal and informal settings
- Undergraduate or advanced degree from a top academic program
- Willingness to travel
