DC Investment Consultant
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.
Responsibilities
We will count on you to:
- Lead DC investment consulting work for mid-size to large clients, delivering and promoting Marsh’s services.
- Support senior investment consultants on complex clients (e.g., performance monitoring, strategy reviews, default strategy advice, investment changes, and updates to statutory documents).
- Review and quality-check work produced by analysts and junior consultants using Marsh tools and approaches.
- Manage elements of client relationship management, including budgets and commercial oversight for assigned clients.
- Drive proactive revenue generation—retaining existing clients and expanding the range of services delivered across relevant lines of business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
What you need to have:
- Circa 5 years’ experience in a DC investment consulting role (ideally UK DC; comparable experience considered).
- A relevant professional qualification or progress toward one (IMC, FIA/FFA, and/or CFA).
- Strong client consulting and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and credibly.
- Proven experience supporting and/or leading investment advisory work (monitoring, governance, and implementation).
- Demonstrated commercial mindset, including contributing to business development through existing and new client opportunities.
What Makes You Stand Out
Experience advising UK DC schemes on default strategy design, performance oversight, and investment change implementation.
- Confidence building internal and external relationships at all levels (clients, providers, and colleagues across teams).
- A proactive, “takes initiative” working style and comfort operating in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
- Project management capability (helpful but not essential).
- A track record of contributing to thought leadership / intellectual capital (e.g., client materials, insights, or market engagement).
