DC Pension Consultant

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their consulting career and become part of a collaborative, forward-thinking DC Consulting team. You’ll gain exposure to some of the UK’s largest employers and most innovative workplace savings schemes, while developing your client-facing consulting skills in an environment that genuinely values flexibility, hybrid working, career progression, and work/life balance.

If you’re looking to take the next step into a more client-facing consulting role, this is an exciting opportunity to join our dedicated national DC Consulting team. We’ll support your development, strengthen your consulting capabilities, and give you exposure to some of the UK’s largest employers and most innovative Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes. Alongside meaningful and rewarding work, we offer flexibility, hybrid working, and a strong focus on work/life balance — all central to the way we work at WTW.

The Role

We’ll build you up to managing a portfolio of (smaller) clients and assisting senior consultants to deliver advice to larger/more complex employers and trustees in relation to their DC schemes and wider savings plans. This covers a multitude of areas including scheme design, investment strategy, communications, retirement support, provider selection and governance. The role will involve:

• Research for and drafting advice and technical papers for review by senior colleagues
• Reviewing advice papers drafted by others
• Interacting with clients, including attending client meetings in both a lead and assisting role
• Managing projects for clients from scoping through to delivery

More broadly, you’ll contribute to internal client and colleague related specialist groups and play an important role in training and developing our more junior colleagues. If you’re also keen to build your sales skills, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to new business activity, in a developing rather than leading role.

• Detail oriented with good communication skills
• Willing to learn and ‘muck in’ to exceed client and colleague expectations
