Project Director – Human Capital Transaction Advisory Services
Are you a seasoned Human Capital professional with complementary expertise gained in large-scale, M&A due diligence?
Are you keen to join and play a pivotal role within a prominent, specialist practice where you’ll take the lead on a variety of projects and advisory services in the pre-acquisition and post-deal M&A environments?
If so, then we’d love to hear from you in connection with this fantastic new opportunity with Aon’s dynamic M&A Transactions Solutions (AMATS) practice situated at our flagship London office. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our London office.
Aon is in the business of better decisions

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