Careers at DWA
An employee-owned consultancy, built on being right rather than being big.
We are a senior, deliberately small team. That means the work you do here is the advice that reaches the trustee board — not a slide in someone else’s pack.
Why DWA
01
Employee owned
A partner of the Employee Ownership Association. Everyone here has a stake in how the firm is run and how it grows.
02
Senior by design
A small team of specialists. Clients work with the people who do the analysis, and so will you.
03
Genuinely independent
We do not own or sell investment products, so nothing distorts the advice you are asked to give.
04
Proprietary research
The Fairway model, the Default Universe Comparison and the Master Trust Universe Comparison were all built here.
How we hire
01
A conversation, not a screen
First call is with someone you would work alongside — not a recruiter reading a script.
02
A real piece of work
We discuss a live problem from the desk. No brainteasers, no take-home marathon.
03
Meet the team
You meet everyone you would work with, and the advisory board where relevant.
04
A clear answer
A decision and honest feedback, either way, within a week of the final conversation.
Employee ownership
#OwningIt is not a slogan here.
As a partner of the Employee Ownership Association, we recognise the role each of us plays in strengthening employee ownership and amplifying its impact for employees, businesses, communities and the wider economy.

We hire when we meet the right person, not when a requisition opens. If you work in investment consulting, manager research, quantitative analysis or scheme governance, we would like to hear from you.
