  • Contributing to the external visibility of WTW's brand through intellectual capital generation, drafting articles, and attending and speaking at relevant conferences.

  • Proven experience successfully managing multiple, multi-faceted projects and producing quality deliverables on time and within budget.
  • An executive presence with polished and well-developed communication skills, including experience making presentations and "sell" ideas to colleagues and management.
  • Self-starter attitude and ability to work within ambiguity.
