Investment Consultant; DC Pensions

Join Marsh’s DC Consulting Practice as a DC Investment Consultant and play a pivotal role advising a diverse portfolio of clients on their defined contribution investment strategies. You’ll help shape better retirement outcomes by supporting complex, high-profile schemes—covering areas such as performance monitoring, strategy reviews, default investment design, investment changes, and governance documentation—while also taking ownership of relationships for smaller to mid-sized clients as your experience grows.

This is a fantastic opportunity with real scope to develop commercially and technically. You’ll collaborate closely with senior consultants, review and elevate the work of analysts and junior colleagues and contribute to the practice’s growth through client engagement and market presence. With hybrid working (3 days in the office) across multiple UK locations and study support available toward IMC/FIA/FFA/CFA, Marsh offers a strong platform to accelerate your DC career.

This role can be based in either our London
, Manchester
, Leeds, Bristol
, Glasgow or Edinburgh offices.
