Job description
Start Date: 1st September 2027
Application closing date: 7th December 2026
Please note, we may close earlier if we receive the quantity, quality & variety of applications required.
At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
Aon is looking for soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates to join our Insurance Actuarial Consulting & Reinsurance Analytics Graduate Programme. You do not need to be an actuarial expert on day one. Over the programme, you will develop into a credentialed, advisory-capable actuary who applies quantitative techniques, data, models, commercial insight and professional judgement to help insurance and reinsurance clients understand, price, transfer and manage financial risk. Through our Launch Programme, professional study support and on-the-job learning, you will build ownership, curiosity, collaboration, client focus and sound judgement from the start.
Aon's actuarial teams help insurers, reinsurers and other risk-bearing organisations make better decisions by applying data, analytics, modelling and business insight to complex risk challenges. Across Insurance Actuarial Consulting and Reinsurance Analytics, you may support clients with areas such as pricing, reserving, capital modelling, risk transfer, catastrophe management, rating agency advisory, strategy and technology-enabled analytics.
AI and digital tools are automating routine data preparation, reconciliation and baseline calculation; augmenting output checking, report drafting and documentation; and elevating the importance of assumption-setting, scenario analysis and clear methodology communication. You will also learn how to validate, challenge or override AI-enabled outputs and orchestrate delivery across people, offshore teams, tools and workflows.
As an Actuarial graduate, you will develop hands-on actuarial and analytical experience. You will see how data, models, clients and strategy come together to deliver value. Technology, including AI-enabled tools such as Copilot, analytics platforms and digital productivity tools, increasingly supports routine data preparation, reconciliation and baseline calculation, allowing actuarial colleagues to focus earlier on reviewing AI-pre-populated baselines, prompting and refining outputs, auditing AI outputs, testing assumptions and knowing when human expertise should override automation, as well judgement, scenario thinking, methodology communication to bring value.
Depending on business need and role alignment, you will join either the Strategy & Technology Group (STG) within Insurance Actuarial Consulting or the Reinsurance Analytics team.
In STG, you will be part of a multi-disciplined actuarial consulting team that supports clients across the life and non-life insurance value chain. Aon's global client base, proprietary data, technology capabilities and insurance industry expertise help the team provide insight into sources of competitive advantage, risk, growth and resilience.
As an STG Actuarial Consulting graduate, you will work with experienced consultants on client projects, develop technical and consulting skills, and contribute to analysis that supports strategic, commercial and risk-based decisions for insurers.
In Reinsurance Analytics, you will support clients and brokers with actuarial, catastrophe management, rating agency advisory and risk and capital strategy expertise. You may work on technical modelling and analysis, while also helping translate findings into clear recommendations for brokers, clients and market partners.

We are looking for candidates who are curious, motivated and excited to learn. The skills and capabilities that will help you succeed can be grouped into three simple areas:
