Launch Your Career in Actuarial Consulting Aon is looking for soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates to join our Insurance Actuarial Consulting & Reinsurance Analytics Graduate Programme. You do not need to be an actuarial expert on day one. Over the programme, you will develop into a credentialed, advisory-capable actuary who applies quantitative techniques, data, models, commercial insight and professional judgement to help insurance and reinsurance clients understand, price, transfer and manage financial risk. Through our Launch Programme, professional study support and on-the-job learning, you will build ownership, curiosity, collaboration, client focus and sound judgement from the start. What is Insurance Actuarial Consulting & Reinsurance Analytics? Aon's actuarial teams help insurers, reinsurers and other risk-bearing organisations make better decisions by applying data, analytics, modelling and business insight to complex risk challenges. Across Insurance Actuarial Consulting and Reinsurance Analytics, you may support clients with areas such as pricing, reserving, capital modelling, risk transfer, catastrophe management, rating agency advisory, strategy and technology-enabled analytics. How work is changing AI and digital tools are automating routine data preparation, reconciliation and baseline calculation; augmenting output checking, report drafting and documentation; and elevating the importance of assumption-setting, scenario analysis and clear methodology communication. You will also learn how to validate, challenge or override AI-enabled outputs and orchestrate delivery across people, offshore teams, tools and workflows. What You Will Do As an Actuarial graduate, you will develop hands-on actuarial and analytical experience. You will see how data, models, clients and strategy come together to deliver value.

Aon UK Graduate Recruitment: What to Expect We know applying for your first graduate role can be exciting, and sometimes a little daunting. At Aon, we’re committed to making our recruitment process as transparent and supportive as possible. Here’s how our selection journey works, and what you can expect at each stage: Application Review We process applications on a rolling basis, moving candidates forward as they complete each stage. Every application is carefully reviewed by our team (not by AI). Due to the high volume of interest, this stage can take up to two weeks. Please note: We do not review CVs or cover letters at this point. Online Assessment We understand you want to put your best foot forward, so you’ll have 5 calendar days to complete the online assessment. If you need more time, just let us know as extensions are available. Video Interview Preparation matters, so you’ll have up to 10 days (240 hours) from receiving your invitation to record and submit your video interview. Rest assured: Every video interview is reviewed by a real member of our recruitment team, not an AI system. You’ll typically hear back from us within 2-3 weeks after submitting your interview, though times may vary depending on the number of applications. Assessment Centres (ACs) Our ACs are held in person at the Aon office closest to the location you applied for. Please note: Due to the large number of applications, not every candidate who completes a video interview will be invited to an AC. ACs usually run from November to May. (With a pause over the Christmas holidays.) If selected, you’ll have 7-14 days’ notice to help you arrange any travel. We run a limited number of ACs so please make every effort to attend if invited. We reimburse reasonable travel costs (such as standard class train tickets). Flights and hotels are only covered if agreed in advance. At the AC stage, your CV and cover letter will be shared with hiring managers. This helps them get a fuller picture of you as a candidate—but these documents are not used for initial screening. We’re here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need accommodations, just contact our team - graduates@aon.co.uk.
