Responsibilities

The Retirement team works with trustees and sponsors of occupational pension schemes.
We advise on both defined contribution (“DC”) and defined benefit (“DB”) schemes: our intern vacancies are within the DB team.
The DB team helps our clients with all aspects of managing a pension scheme, from regular triennial valuation work, to cutting edge risk-reduction and scheme design projects.
We often work closely with our colleagues in other teams, such as DC, investment, communications and administration, to provide joined-up advice to our clients.
We work in partnership with our clients to help them to manage the potentially substantial risks involved with retirement benefit provision and to ensure that their benefits meet the needs of all stakeholders.
As an intern in the Retirement team, you’ll need good numerical and communication skills, the ability to plan work effectively and a strong desire to solve challenging, technical problems.
You’ll develop consulting skills so that you can help clients understand and manage their pension risks.
You will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the leading figures in the pensions industry and also to be recognised for your personal contribution.
You’ll be part of the bigger WTW community, and will be able to contribute to our fundraising and community activities, our inclusion and diversity networks as well as our sporting and social groups.
We provide continuous professional development to all of our colleagues.
For interns specifically, we provide an induction process where you can learn what our business does, what resources are available, and who the other new interns are.
On-the-job experiences allowing you to see the immediate impact of your work.
Opportunities to work on a diverse range of projects with experienced professionals.
