We are looking for a driven individual to join our Data Solutions Team, within Aon’s UK Retirement business. This large and growing team delivers strategic data consulting, data cleanse, benefit rectification and system implementation work on projects such as buy‑in to buy‑out cleanse, GMP rectification, and GMP equalisation system implementation.

Aon is in the business of better decisions

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.

As an organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What the day will look like

• We are seeking an individual to join the leadership team of the Data Solutions group, with a primary focus on driving growth.
• You will be responsible for overseeing our market‑facing propositions, ensuring that we are articulating to clients and the wider market how our offering adds significant value.
• You will use and/or develop strong relationships in the market to build our industry presence in this space and communicate our excitement about our offering.

• You will take ownership of generating new business opportunities, helping shape and grow our pipeline over the coming years.
• You will also play a broader leadership role in the team – for example, leading significant projects with clients, or leading an area of the team.

How this opportunity is different

The Data Solutions Team has experienced rapid growth in recent years, and is one of our fastest‑growing areas of the business. As a Partner in this team, you will play a key part in driving this continued growth – not just through delivery, but by shaping how the market sees us.

This role offers exceptional potential and exposure to a wide range of senior internal and external stakeholders.
