Business Analyst (Quotient AI Specialist) – Madrid

About the role

Oliver Wyman, a global management consulting firm, is hiring a Business Analyst in Madrid for its Quotient AI team's new WAVE unit. WAVE sits at the front line of AI-enabled business development and works closely with Quotient Inside to help consulting teams move faster and build with reuse in mind. As Business Analyst you will be the day-to-day operational lead, turning partner requests into clear briefs, keeping priorities moving and helping ensure the work produced is reusable and scalable.

Key responsibilities

• Act as the first point of contact for partner requests, assessing each for viability, impact, urgency and fit with WAVE's backlog
• Turn vague asks into crisp briefs that the Technical Business Partner and engineers can act on quickly
• Own day-to-day prioritisation and backlog flow, surfacing trade-offs when capacity is constrained
• Distinguish between work to build once, reuse or decline, and maintain a reusable repository of slides, proposals and case material
• Run the team's internal governance rhythm, keeping partners informed on status, decisions and scope
• Help translate early ideas into proposals, prototypes and supporting material, and coordinate with the team lead and technical colleagues
• Contribute to the operating rhythm of a small, fast-moving pilot team as it scales

Required profile

• 3+ years' experience in management consulting or a comparable environment, ideally an ex-consultant who knows how proposals and business development work
• Strong business judgement and fluent in the language and standards of consulting, able to communicate with partners and technical colleagues
• Excellent structuring and written communication skills, and full professional English
• Spanish strongly preferred
• Comfortable saying "no, but here is what we can do"

Preferred qualifications

• Prior exposure to Banking & Financial Services
• Experience running an intake or prioritisation process
• Experience as a scrum master, delivery lead or similar coordination role
• Experience building or curating reusable proposal, sales or case material
• Working knowledge of AI's current capabilities and limits

To apply, submit a CV and cover letter; shortlisted candidates are invited to meet the WAVE team. The interview process includes a screening conversation with the team lead, a technical exercise, and two to three team-fit interviews, including at least one with a partner.
