We’re hiring!

Join Aon as a Commercial Risk or Reinsurance summer intern and spend 9 weeks discovering why insurance, reinsurance and risk management are the cornerstones of every company’s capital structure. We help our clients identify their risks, ensuring they have the best possible cover to mitigate them.

As well as identifying risk for our clients, we also predict and spread risk. This means that, if major catastrophes hit, economies can keep going and people can get on with their lives. As an Aon Summer Intern, you’ll play a key role in making this essential work happen.

We’ll help you learn about our business and the broking process, develop your professional skills and build strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

We recognise the learning, development, and social value for our Early Career colleagues of being in the office environment from the start of their programme. All our interns will spend most of their time in the office and occasional time working from home or a client site.

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

Commercial Risk Solutions: Trends in economics, demographics and geopolitics – compounded by the rapid pace of technological change – are creating unprecedented volatility for organisations. We offer risk advisory, risk transfer and structured solutions that help better identify, quantify and manage risk exposure.

Reinsurance Solutions: Unprecedented volatility is creating new risks and opportunities for organisations across the global economy. We provide risk transfer, claims advocacy and capital management solutions to help re/insurers reduce volatility and build more resilient businesses, governments and communities.

Your role as a Summer Intern in Commercial Risk or Reinsurance Solutions

You’ll join either our Commercial Risk Solutions or Reinsurance Solutions team, playing a crucial role in delivering dynamic, bespoke intellectual and financial capacity to our clients all around the world.

Our interns experience the full lifecycle of our business — from trading risk in the market and understanding the importance of claims through to winning new business. You’ll focus on developing client-management skills too and build relationships with a broad spectrum of people — including clients, our own industry specialists and members of the global insurance and reinsurance markets.

We’ll give you real responsibility early on, to ensure you gain a deep understanding of your potential future career path.
