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.

Key Responsibilities:

• Consolidating weekly inputs from multiple workstreams into a clear, integrated view of program status, risks, dependencies, and milestones
• Maintaining and continuously updating core PMO artifacts, including master trackers, milestone plans, risk and issue logs, and action registers so the program team and leaders can rely on them
• Preparing leadership-ready materials (e.g., Steering Committee packs, dashboards, summaries), translating operational detail into implications and choices
• Tracking follow-ups and decisions from senior forums, ensuring clear ownership and closure
• Supporting ad-hoc analysis and deep dives to help the PMO Manager and program leadership challenge priorities, sequencing, and feasibility
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of PMO processes, cadence, and tooling

Experience Required:

• At least 3 years’ experience in project, program, or analytical roles, preferably in professional services, technology, or transformation contexts
• Strong analytical skills and proven ability to structure and synthesize complex information and turn it into clear, useful insights
• Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel; comfort working with trackers and delivery tools

Skills and Attributes:

Below are four skills that are critical to success as a PMO Analyst at Oliver Wyman.

Execution discipline and attention to detail

Advanced proficiency with core productivity and collaboration tools (e.g. Microsoft Office, Teams), combined with exceptional attention to detail, tracking actions and dependencies, and ensuring plans, updates, and outputs can be relied upon by leaders

Analytical synthesis and decision support

Fluency in analytical and problem-solving skills to derive fact-based insights and formulate clear recommendations, summarizing complex information into concise updates

Stakeholder coordination

Stakeholder management skills, with the ability to coordinate individuals across roles. This means following up on actions, resolving issues pragmatically, and maintaining momentum across workstreams

Comfort operating in ambiguity

Ability to work effectively through ambiguity, volatility, and rapid change, while maintaining structure and clarity, including adaptability in approach, and digital fluency (exposure to GenAI 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.
