Job description

We are seeking a Manager of Business Analysis to support the Internal Consulting team of Aon Business Services (ABS) on the design and delivery of a multi-year strategic Operating Model Transformation. Reporting to the Director of Internal Consulting, this role supports the design and implementation of Aon’s future operating model, delivering analysis and insights to translate strategy into practical solutions. This role will engage with leaders across Solution Lines, Regions and Functions, as well as support a cross‑functional team of internal consultants, project managers and subject matter authorities to deliver measurable performance outcomes.

• Analyze and synthesize complex inputs (e.g. activity maps, as‑Is assessments, interviews, benchmarks, collaborator insights) into clear, decision‑ready operating model recommendations
• Develop clear problem statements, hypotheses, and analytical frameworks in collaboration with senior team members
• Prepare options, recommendations, and supporting materials to inform decision‑making

• Contribute to the preparation of steering committee materials, status updates, and other program documentation

• Build strong working relationships with subject matter authorities, operations teams, and functional collaborators (e.g., Technology, Finance, HR, Risk & Compliance)
• Prepare high‑quality presentations, reports, and visual materials that clearly communicate insights, requirements, and design decisions to different audiences
• Capture feedback from collaborators and incorporate it into analysis, requirements, and build artifacts

Change Support & Knowledge Management

• Help define and document standard operating procedures (SOPs), process documentation, and training materials for new ways of working
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of templates, tools, and methodologies used by the Internal Consulting team
• Capture lessons learned, standard methodologies, and insights from projects and help embed them into future work
• Share knowledge and analysis in a way that builds understanding and capability across the broader team

Skills & Competencies

• Strong analytical and critical thinking abilities; capable of working with data, recognizing patterns, and drawing clear conclusions

• Strong ability to convey ideas both in writing and speaking; able to present complex information in a clear and concise way
• Comfortable working with collaborators at different levels and across functions and geographies
