• Foster inclusive leadership practices that enhance team collaboration and innovation
• Build strong relationships with client stakeholders, partners, and internal experts to co-create
impactful solutions
• Travel 50%+ to client locations and Oliver Wyman offices where and as needed

What you'll bring: We are looking for senior leadership advisors with 10+ years of experience in leadership development, executive coaching, and organizational consulting. The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator and collaborator, skilled at working in complex and challenging environments.

Additionally, you should posses:
• Proven experience advising senior executives and leadership teams on strategy, culture, and organizational effectiveness
• Strong facilitation and coaching skills with a track record of developing leaders at all levels
• Deep understanding of change management principles and practices
• Ability to design and deliver leadership programs tailored to client needs and business context
• Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with multiple stakeholders
• Strong interpersonal skills that foster trust, collaboration, and open dialogue
• Familiarity with science- and data-driven approaches to leadership assessment and development
• Passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion as a driver of leadership excellence

We're also hoping you'll have experience or knowledge in some of the following areas:
• Guiding leadership initiatives in regulated industries such as financial services or healthcare
• Integrating leadership development with digital transformation and agile ways of working
• Using technology platforms for leadership assessment, learning, and collaboration
• Applying behavioral science and adult learning principles to leadership development
• Working with global and culturally diverse leadership teams
What we offer you:
• An opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping leadership strategies and organizational transformations that drive lasting impact across diverse industries and business domains.
• The chance to partner with senior executives and leadership teams at some of the world's most influential organizations, helping them to navigate complex challenges and unlock their full potential.
• A collaborative and inclusive environment where your expertise in leadership development, executive coaching, and change management will be highly valued and amplified.
• A structured career development program offering both leadership and advisory growth paths, supported by tailored learning opportunities and mentorship.
• A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, complemented by a flexible learning and development budget to support your continuous professional growth, including attendance at conferences and certifications.
• A high degree of autonomy and empowerment to lead initiatives, innovate solutions, and influence organizational culture in ways that matter.

The applicable base salary range for this role is $195K-$265K.
