Join to apply for the Insurance Investment Consultant role at Aon

We’re hiring!

Aon are currently recruiting a Senior Investment Consultant to join our UK insurance investment team in London. You will be primarily responsible for working with colleagues in this team (and other solution lines/geographies as needed) to help develop Aon’s insurance investment proposition and solutions and taking these to market.

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.

We are on the path of delivering innovative advice and solutions to insurers, using the wider expertise of our different solution lines, and you’d play a key role in this.

The UK Insurance Investment Team

There are significant structural changes impacting the UK DB pension landscape and Aon Investments’ traditional client base. Diversifying the client base is therefore a key strategic priority, requiring Aon to deliver our innovative investment advice and services to other asset owners - in particular, insurance companies.

Current market conditions present several challenges and opportunities for insurance investors. As one of the world’s largest investment consulting firms (and one of the world’s leading (re)insurance brokers), Aon is uniquely placed to help insurers navigate these challenges and opportunities. Our expertise helps ensure our clients’ investment strategies are aligned with their broader objectives and that they deliver the desired investment outcomes. We help our clients increase efficiency within their portfolios, access best in class managers, address sustainable investment considerations, manage the full spectrum of risks and save money on investment related fees.

The FCA's Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) applies to Aon from December 2019 and this role is subject to the relevant requirements of the Regime. The primary aim of SM&CR is to drive individual accountability for all roles within the Financial Services Sector. Aon must ensure those in senior roles, with the potential to cause significant harm to customers and the business of the firm, are deemed to be fit and accurate at all times and also to ensure everyone working in the sector adheres to a set of Conduct Rules and are held to account where they do not meet the right standards of behaviour.
