PMO Analyst

We are seeking a PMO Analyst to join our Team at Mercer. You will be joining us in building Oliver Wyman’s new hub in Lisbon.

This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

About the Role:

As part of its continued evolution, Oliver Wyman is delivering a multi-year, firmwide transformation to embed advanced digital and technology-enabled capabilities into how the firm operates and delivers value. This enterprise-wide initiative spans product development, technology convergence, activation and change, communications, and regional execution across teams and geographies.

We are seeking a PMO Analyst to support the day-to-day program management of a major internal transformation at Oliver Wyman.

Working closely with the PMO Manager and senior program leadership, you will play a critical role in ensuring transparency, rigor, and follow-through across a complex, multi-workstream initiative spanning product delivery, technology builds, activation, communications, and regional execution.

This role requires strong analytical capability, attention to detail, and the ability to translate fragmented workstream inputs into a coherent, decision-ready program view. You will operate with a high degree of ownership, independently managing core PMO artifacts while developing a deep understanding of how large-scale transformation programs operate and where risks and dependencies sit.

While the role is execution-heavy, it also requires judgment: understanding what matters most to senior stakeholders, where to escalate, and how to frame information to enable effective decisions.

In a typical week, you might consolidate updates from multiple workstreams into a clear view of progress and risk, flag emerging dependencies before they become issues, and help senior leaders

focus discussions on the decisions that matter most. This role offers exposure to a fast-evolving transformation environment, with proximity to senior decision-makers and strong opportunities to develop judgment in a high-impact setting.

We will count on you to:

• Consolidate weekly inputs from multiple workstreams into a clear, integrated view of program status, risks, dependencies, and milestones
• Maintain and continuously update core PMO artifacts, including master trackers, milestone plans, risk and issue logs, and action registers
• Prepare leadership-ready materials (e.g., steering committee packs, dashboards, executive summaries), translating operational detail into implications and decision points
• Track follow-ups and decisions from senior forums, ensuring clear ownership and timely closure
• Support ad hoc analysis and deep dives to help challenge priorities, sequencing, and feasibility
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of PMO processes, cadence, governance, and tooling

What makes you stand out?

• 3+ years of experience in project, program, consulting, or analytical roles, preferably within professional services, technology, or transformation environments
• Strong analytical skills and proven ability to structure and synthesize complex information into clear, actionable insights
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel; comfort working with trackers and delivery tools
• Experience supporting multi-stakeholder initiatives or senior forums is preferred

Skills and Attributes:

Below are five skills that are critical to success as a PMO Analyst in Oliver Wyman.

Execution discipline and attention to detail

Exceptional attention to detail combined with strong proficiency in core productivity and collaboration tools. Ability to track actions, dependencies, and risks with rigor, ensuring that leaders can rely on the information provided

Analytical synthesis and decision support

Ability to derive fact-based insights from diverse inputs and summarize complex information into concise, decision-ready updates that shape discussions rather than simply report status

Stakeholder coordination

Experience coordinating across stakeholders at different levels and functions, following up on actions, resolving issues pragmatically, and maintaining program momentum without direct line authority

Comfort operating in ambiguity

Ability to work effectively in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve, while maintaining structure, clarity, and adaptability. Strong digital fluency and comfort learning new tools to support evolving ways of working

Fluency in business English (written and verbal), familiarity with common project-execution tools (e.g. survey or facilitation tools), and general consulting skills are baseline expectations at Oliver Wyman and will be assessed through interviews.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well-being.
