Practice Overview

Oliver Wyman is one of the market leaders in GCC public sector strategy consulting. Our UAE office is looking to appoint consultants to support its continued expansion in the government and public sector, a strategic priority for the firm. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a successful team early in its development. Consultants are given the opportunity for rapid professional growth, to participate in entrepreneurial work, and to share in the success of the team. Our teams are organized around several different specializations: Economic & social development, investment promotion and strategies, governance, fiscal & monetary policies, human capital, tourism, culture & entertainment, amongst others.

The Role and Responsibilities

Experienced professionals bring the know-how to make lasting changes 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 your team through an efficient and effective problem-solving process from initial hypothesis collection to convergence on a solution. You will ensure that recommendations are 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.

Your Attributes and Experience

Clients hire Oliver Wyman for specialized expertise. The ideal candidate will have most of the following:

• A degree from a top academic program

• At least 5-7 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization).

• Experience in leading projects in the governmental/ public sector institutions, ideally in the GCC region

• Experience in leading projects in tourism or adjacent sectors, ideally in the GCC region

• A track record of leading and managing teams and clients, and delivering against tight deadlines in fast paced and demanding environments 

• A strong background in strategic problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills

• Outstanding communication skills; comfort in presenting to senior executives, both internally and to clients 

• A strong can-do attitude, willingness to take the initiative, curiosity and desire to learn

• Arabic language is a plus

• Willingness to travel
