Watson Wyatt is the trusted business partner to the world's leading organizations on people and financial issues.
Our client relationships, many spanning decades, define who we are. They are shaped by a deep understanding of our clients' needs, a collaborative working style and a firm-wide commitment to service excellence.
Our consultants bring fresh thinking to client issues, along with the experience and research to know what really works. They deliver practical, evidence-based solutions that are tailored to your organization's culture and goals.
With 7,500 associates in 33 countries, our global services include:
Managing the cost and effectiveness of employee benefit programs
Developing attraction, retention and reward strategies that help create competitive advantage
Advising pension plan sponsors and other institutions on optimal investment strategies
Providing strategic and financial advice to insurance and financial services companies
Delivering related technology, outsourcing and data services
Our career paths fall into two main categories: actuarial consulting and Investment consulting.
If you are interested in being a consultant but don't want to train as an actuary, Investment Consulting (Manager Research or Client Consulting in particular), is the area you should consider.
If, however, you would like to train as an actuary then you should focus on the Benefits Group (Actuarial Consulting), Insurance & Financial Services (Actuarial Consulting) or Investment Consulting (you can pursue the actuarial qualification in any team but The Strategy Group spends the most time using mathematical modelling skills).
In all practice groups, we’re looking for people who are keen to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours that support our business strategy. Therefore, we expect you to be able to add value by thinking strategically about client issues and applying appropriate methodologies to resolve problems. You’ll need the flexibility to work well independently and in a team environment, as well as the capacity to manage multiple projects simultaneously, deliver quality work and consistently meet deadlines. It goes without saying that excellent all round communication skills – verbal, written and listening – are essential too.
