About The Position

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 Manager to lead program management and governance for one of Oliver Wyman’s most significant internal transformation initiatives. This is a complex, enterprise-scale program operating in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment, requiring strong judgment, structure, and leadership. In this role, you will act as the central integrator across multiple workstreams, developing a deep understanding of how initiatives interlock and how risks, dependencies, and trade-offs affect overall outcomes. You will be expected to operate independently, anticipate issues early, and provide challenge and perspective — not simply coordinate activity. The role spans the full seniority spectrum, from hands-on analytical execution to peer-level engagement with senior leaders. You will support high-stakes decision-making, shape governance forums, and help ensure that leadership conversations are focused on the right priorities at the right time. The work involves evolving priorities, open-ended deliverables, and complex stakeholder dynamics, reflecting both the pace of technological change and its implications for how a global consulting firm operates. You will act as a role model for program excellence and help shape best practices for large-scale transformation delivery. On a strong day, you bring clarity to complexity, reframing fragmented inputs into decision-ready views, surfacing risks early enough to change outcomes, or helping senior stakeholders align on priorities and trade-offs. Your work will directly influence not just whether the program stays on track, but the quality of the decisions that guide it. This is a hybrid role that requires a presence in the office 3 days per week. There is no option to be fully remote.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in program, project, or product management roles, ideally within professional services, technology transformation, or enterprise change environments
Proven track record of leading complex, multi-workstream programs involving senior stakeholders and significant ambiguity
Strong experience in program governance, planning, risk management, and stakeholder management, including operating as a peer to senior leaders
Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations for executive discussion and decision-making
Expertise in project and program management methodologies (e.g., Agile, hybrid, Waterfall), with the judgement to apply them pragmatically rather than by the book
Intellectual curiosity, a learning mindset, and personal adaptability are baseline expectations at Oliver Wyman and will be assessed through interviews and practical discussions.

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end governance and execution of a major firmwide transformation, integrating progress across product delivery, technology builds, activation and change, communications, and regional initiatives
Own program planning, critical path, and dependency management, proactively identifying delivery risks, resourcing constraints, and decision points, and driving timely resolution
Prepare and lead senior stakeholder forums (e.g., steering committees and executive touchpoints), including agenda setting, synthesis of insights, framing of decisions, and articulation of trade-offs
Act as a thought partner and constructive challenger to workstream leads and senior sponsors, testing feasibility, prioritization, sequencing, and alignment with overall program objectives
Ensure high standards of transparency and reporting, translating complex delivery signals into concise, decision-ready views for leadership
Manage and mentor PMO resources, fostering consistency, rigor, and professional development across the PMO function
Continuously evolve PMO ways of working, adapting governance, cadence, and tooling to suit a fast-changing transformation context and keeping processes fit-for-purpose rather than over-engineered
