Better Decisions Begin with You

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, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

Wealth Solutions: Client Management

Join Aon as a Client Management Industrial Placement and discover how we manage our client relationships and support our client’s activities, ensuring their pension schemes are run efficiently. If you are passionate about going above and beyond for clients, you’ll fit right in here at Aon as a client management Industrial Placement.

Hundreds of UK employers — from FTSE 100 companies to ambitious up-and-coming firms — turn to our retirement and investment business for advice on running pension schemes. Providing vital support to senior team members, you’ll make an immediate impact as you explore our business, develop your professional skills and build a valuable network of contacts.

As a client management Industrial Placement, no two days are the same; you’ll work on a range of client teams with colleagues who provide advice and support to either the trustees managing the pension scheme, or the company that provides it.

Our aim is for you to develop into a trusted advisor for your clients as soon as possible, building strong relationships with each of your clients. We’ll help you do this by giving you real responsibility on client projects and supporting you in developing your industry knowledge, project management and consulting skills through a series of structured training sessions and on-the-job training. Throughout your career with Aon, you’ll continually improve your commercial awareness and professionalism – which will help you grow into a successful client manager.

What your day could look like

• Ensuring appropriate legislative, regulatory, business, practice and professional standards are followed and supporting with the development of solutions to suit clients’ needs
• Producing and delivering clear and accurate internal and client correspondence, including advice and recommendations to help ensure clients meet the above
• Attending and planning client meetings (in person and virtual), taking minutes and managing the follow-up actions
• Acting as a key contact for the client and fielding queries to relevant teams as necessary
• Taking responsibility for the production (quality, timeliness and budget) of work for allocated clients (i.e. account management)
• Keeping track of progress with actions and ensuring that all workflow is completed to timescales
• Playing an active part in delivering client satisfaction, retention and profitability
• Effectively influencing and negotiating with other teams (actuarial, administration, investment, legal) both internally and externally through the development of working relationships to ensure client commitments are met
• Actively participating in team meetings, keeping others updated on developments, providing feedback following discussions and involving others in identifying service improvements where appropriate

Your Development

As an Aon Industrial Placement, you will be enrolled onto our Launch Programme when you join. This development programme is built around 3 core elements:

1. Business learning. On the job learning and experiences enabling you to develop your knowledge and understanding of your team and solution line.
2. Centralised learning. UK Industrial Placements complete in an Aon Induction, monthly webinars, business skills training and workshops; all designed to develop your knowledge of Aon, build your confidence and your network across our business.
3. Feedback. When you begin your Aon placement, you will have time with your line manager to discuss your goals and over your 12-month programme you will receive feedback and support

Your career beyond your Industrial Placement programme

Once you’ve completed the formal Industrial Placement programme, you’ll continue to receive lots of support at Aon.

To aid your professional development you’ll receive regular performance feedback, and work with your line manager towards promotions, which are considered twice a year, enabling you to progress from a Industrial Placement to Associate Consultant, then Consultant and beyond!
