Job description

M&A Associate - Transaction Solutions - London, UK

Can you bring an outstanding combination of organisational skills, an ability to build strong personal relationships and preferably some touchpoints with law, finance or tax in your education to a role within our prestigious AMATS team ?

Are you a dynamic self-starter with a thirst to be part of a high performing team which values the contribution of all team members?

If so, then we'd love to hear from you in connection with this exciting opportunity supporting our strong growth strategy as we adopt and embrace technology and other innovative practices in our existing business model.

Based in our flagship London office, this role comes with hybrid working practices.

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 organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive team and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What the day will look like

In this wide and varied role your role and responsibilities will include:

• Day to day delivery of broking placements – including client and insurer engagement, preparation of insurer submissions, drafting of client reports, project managing the underwriting process, and handling policy binding
• Post transaction handling of invoicing and collating post-deal marketing collateral.
• Support the management of collaborator relationships (with client and adviser relationships being key to business generation).
• Attend external networking events, conferences, and seminars and contribute to the team’s business development efforts.
• Boost understanding of the broader AMATS capabilities to effectively communicate with collaborators.
• Assist with proposals/pitches and managing the team’s pipeline.

How this opportunity is different

We support clients across a wide range of transactions including typical buy and sell-side deals, carve-outs, distressed M&A plus secondary market deals. Our mix of deals includes both UK domestic and international transactions covering the full valuation range from the largest, most sophisticated multi‑billion deals to sub‑£50m transactions. Joining as an Associate you will have significant scope for career progression, in the short term within the transaction solutions team and longer team within the AMATS division. More broadly as a global organisation Aon offers significant career opportunities for its high performing talent both domestically and internationally.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• W&I / Tax / or general Transaction Services experience from within Audit / Accountancy / Legal or other analogous industries.
• Knowledge of the London insurance market is beneficial, but not crucial.
• Project management responsibility within current or previous roles.

• Experience in producing written outputs and strong attention to detail.
