Senior Proposition and Innovation Specialist


Mercer Marsh Benefits (MMB) is seeking a mid/senior level colleague to join the Proposition and Innovation (P&I) Team in the UK to lead a team of four proposition specialists, reporting directly into the MMB UK Executive Team via the P&I Leader.

The role will be London-based, although we offer hybrid working in line with the rest of the Marsh McLennan group.

As part of a small but specialist team, this role seldom becomes a vacancy.

Its potential for impact is significant as the workplace evolves at a fast pace fuelled by external factors such as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; artificial intelligence; a shift in how MMB's clients attract and retain talent via more purpose-driven agendas, and a tumultuous political and economic external environment.


The P&I team are a central function within the UK MMB business responsible for bringing new propositions and partnerships to market — from ideation through to post-implementation management.

Driving diversified revenue via new and innovative solutions across the full spectrum of employee benefits is the team's North Star, and is essential to protecting and growing MMB UK's ability to drive greater and stronger outcomes for clients, customers and for MMB.

 Advanced stakeholder management
  • The ability to balance and adapt to the needs of a range of individuals and groups of stakeholders at all levels of seniority is vital to bringing ideas and partnerships to life. Our team is ultimately one of change management and bringing the business on a journey is vital to it feeling part of the change, as opposed to having change done 'to it'.


 Commercial acumen
