The Company

At WTW, our advisors develop new solutions to help the aging global population achieve financial security in retirement. We invite you to join our Retirement consulting team, recognized for its ability to combine actuarial and investment expertise to support organizations around the world in optimizing the effectiveness of their employee retirement programs.

For example, during your internship, you may work on an actuarial valuation and be involved in investment and risk management projects. Teamwork is an integral part of the life here. You will participate on teams that aim to find and implement the best possible solutions for our clients.  

In this role at WTW you will: 

• Serve as a key resource on client teams performing necessary calculations or actuarial analysis on a wide variety of retirement projects 
• Work in a dynamic and social environment by participating in daily meetings with colleagues from the Retirement team  
• Learn more about the day-to-day of a consultant by creating client presentations, assisting to the team preparation and potentially attending client meetings 
• Work with a variety of colleagues and clients gaining knowledge and exposure to different work styles 
• Learn about WTW career paths 
• Have robust learning and development opportunities including trainings, mentorship programs, and actuarial exam support 
• Build connection with colleagues through optional social activities  

We trust our colleagues to work in a variety of settings. This role can be hybrid or onsite.
