JOB DESCRIPTION

Performance Transformation | Operations – Engagement Manager (m/f/d) – Germany

The Operations team (within the Performance Transformation practice) assists our clients to shape the future of their operations so that they can achieve their strategic goals and deliver sustainable and industry-leading business performance. Our approach to Operations is focused on sustainable impact, not only reducing costs, but setting up solid foundations for comprehensive transformation, best-in-class digital tools & processes, environmental transition and maximized attractivity of talents. Our Core work is divided into 4 pillars:

Value Sourcing/Procurement: Address the complete external spend to generate high bottom-line impact while sustainably transform the operating model.

Supply Chain: Develop innovative and impactful solutions to increase the performance and results of our clients’ supply chain processes and networks. The focus is on innovative, digital solutions like Digital supply chain, Blockchain, agile network design, digital S&OP processes, end-to-end supply chain transparency, intelligent distribution logistics, advanced Supply Chain forecasting and Industry 4.0.

Manufacturing and Process Operations: Help our clients meet the challenges of their environment and turn their operations into a decisive competitive advantage.

Digital Operations: Apply various advanced analytics methods and machine learning models to drive our clients’ operation to the next level of performance.

Our team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise to support our continued expansion in this sector, which is experiencing significant growth.

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 skillsets 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 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization) with a focus on operations
• Strong analytical and synthesis skills and ability to conduct and leverage sophisticated analyses to identify trends, draw conclusions and present recommendations
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in both formal and informal settings
• Fluency in English and German language is required
• 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
