  • Contribute to the development of WTW’s intellectual capital and future proposition development, including go‑to‑market strategy
  • Mentor, lead, manage and develop more junior members of the team, potentially including both project engagements and direct reports

    If the position allows for flexible working

Our flexibility is rooted in trust and “hybrid” is not a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.

    We understand flexibility is key to supporting an inclusive and diverse workforce and so we encourage requests for all types of flexible working as well as location‑based arrangements. Please speak to your recruiter to discuss more.
