OXYGY is a dynamic, global management consulting firm focused on providing its people with a truly collaborative, flexible, and entrepreneurial environment as we serve our clients’ best interests.

As the consulting arm of the international law firm Bird & Bird, our clients cover multiple industries. We deliver improved business results for our clients by helping them develop new capabilities, increase organizational agility, or execute on strategy.

At OXYGY, you can expect to accrue considerable experience across the whole spectrum of consulting work: prospecting & selling, preparing projects, executing at a high level, identifying future opportunities, and building up internal business competencies.

As a global firm, we regularly work on projects across several countries and regions. You will regularly work with international clients with colleagues from other OXYGY offices and have the chance to develop meaningful connections with our global community of consulting professionals.
