Who we are

Oliver Wyman is a global management consulting firm. We work with clients through their most defining moments, combining deep industry knowledge, specialized expertise, and the power of perspective to help them adapt, grow, and thrive.

We believe diverse perspectives make the work stronger. Our consultants bring different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking to help solve complex problems and create lasting impact for clients, colleagues, and communities.

At Oliver Wyman, we are proud of the values that we aspire to live by. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.

The Organisational Performance team (within the Performance Transformation practice) assists our clients in designing, activating and sustaining high-performing organisations so that they can achieve their strategic goals and deliver lasting business impact. Our approach combines rigorous organisation and operating model design with people-led transformation and change management, helping clients build the right structures, capabilities, behaviours and performance disciplines to succeed in complex transformation environments. Our core work is divided into 4 pillars:

Organisation & Operating Model Design: Support clients in designing target operating models, strategic organisational structures, accountabilities, roles and skills, location models and workforce plans that strengthen organisational health and enable future growth.

Organisational Efficiency: Help clients improve organisational cost, performance and transparency through efficiency diagnostics, cost and FTE benchmarking, spans and layers analysis, G&A cost reduction, finance and HR transformation, Global Business Services design and sustainable cost management.

Change Management and Transformation Success: Enable clients to deliver successful transformations through people-led change, transformation set-up, transformation office design, change effectiveness diagnostics, leadership engagement, communications strategies, workshops and activation programmes.

Culture, Behaviour and Change: Support clients in shaping the culture and behaviours required for transformation success, including culture assessments, behavioural change capabilities, leadership activation, leadership assessment, cultural integration and scaled engagement interventions.

Our team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise in organisation design, operating model transformation, efficiency improvement and people-led change to support our continued expansion in this high-growth area.
