Launch Your Career in Broking

Aon is looking for soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates to join our Early Careers Launch Development Program as Brokers, with opportunities across Commercial Risk and Reinsurance. You do not need to be an insurance expert on day one. Through our Launch Program and on-the-job learning, you will learn how brokers help clients understand risk, navigate insurance and reinsurance markets, and make better decisions, that support resilience and growth.

As a Broker, you will build the skills, confidence and market knowledge needed to translate complex risk exposures into structured insurance programs and serve as a credible intermediary between clients and insurers.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada. This role is not eligible for sponsorship, and we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa or work permit.

What is Commercial Risk and Reinsurance

Commercial Risk

Aon’s Commercial Risk team helps organizations around the world identify, understand, and manage the risks that could impact their people, assets, and performance.

Reinsurance

Aon’s Reinsurance team works with insurance companies and other risk‑bearing organizations to design reinsurance and capital solutions that strengthen their balance sheets and support profitable growth. By combining analytical expertise, market knowledge, and global reach, we help clients transfer risk, access capital, and respond to emerging challenges such as natural catastrophes, climate risk, and changing regulatory environments.

What You Will Do

As a Broker, you will build hands-on broking experience while developing an understanding of how risk, markets, clients and strategy come together to create value for clients. Technology, including AI, Aon’s risk analyzers and global delivery teams increasingly support routine execution, allowing Brokers to focus earlier on commercial judgment, market strategy and client value.
