Also to deliver post-merger integration advice on people matters around the world, including benefit design, provider selection and benefit delivery, communications and change management.
- Lead diverse client teams to deliver advice to the headquarters of our multinational clients on employee benefit matters around the world. Such areas of advice could include global retirement management, benefit design, local compliance, local and global governance process, provider selection and benefit delivery, global benefit financing and risk management structures.
- Work closely with the global Lead Relationship Managers and local colleagues to protect and grow client revenue.
- Support the use of WTW technology to help clients to maximize the value from the information collected.

- Comfort in working in a global environment. Understand the nuances of working across borders, with different cultures and with multinational organizations.
- Self-motivation and the ability to effectively lead and work in teams, including remotely with clients and colleagues in other countries.
- Ability to build a network with client contacts and WTW colleagues around the world.
- A positive and friendly approach to work.
- A keen desire to learn.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
