Business Analyst (Quotient AI Specialist) – Madrid

About the role

Oliver Wyman, a global management consulting firm, is hiring a Business Analyst for its Quotient AI team in Madrid. Quotient combines industry insight, strategic advice and hands-on AI delivery, and WAVE is a newly created team at the front line of AI-enabled business development. As Business Analyst you will be the team's 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 the team'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"

Required skills

• Working knowledge of AI's current capabilities and limits
• Experience working with technical teams to shape solution design and improve AI-based outputs
• Preferred: prior exposure to Banking & Financial Services, experience running an intake or prioritisation process, experience as a scrum master or delivery lead, and experience building reusable proposal, sales or case material

To apply, send your CV and cover letter. Shortlisted candidates are invited to meet the WAVE team; the process includes a screening conversation, a technical exercise and two to three team-fit interviews, including with a partner.
