Full job description

Posting Description:
Associate Investment Consultant

Do you want an investment consulting role advising institutional clients supported by Aon’s breadth of specialist knowledge and expertise? Would you enjoy being part of a diverse team focused on driving positive outcomes for both clients and colleagues? If you’re passionate about joining an innovative and market leading business, then read on!

The UK Investment Team are looking for an Associate Investment Consultant to join the Investment Advisory team. This is a hybrid role which will be based in Leeds City Centre, but other locations may be considered (Birmingham, Edinburgh, London, Bristol).

Associate Investment Consultants will be primarily responsible for adding value to Aon’s relationship with clients through management, development, and retention of a portfolio of clients.

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

What the day will look like

As an Associate Investment Consultant you will support consultants in building and managing client relationships , while overseeing the day-to-day deliverables and support team. You will be involved in preparing advice predominantly to UK defined benefit pension schemes but also endowments, charities, and other institutional clients.
Given the breadth of capability at Aon, you will be supported by a team of dedicated client-facing colleagues as well as expertise from our many specialist teams such as risk & modelling, investment manager research, investment strategy & economics and more.

Your day-to-day focus will include:

  • Working with lead consultants to build relationships with clients, as well as understanding and solving the challenges clients may face
  • Driving business results through efficient delivery of client service and connecting and working with colleagues across Aon’s specialist teams
  • Acting as the day-to-day contact for clients of all sizes.
  • Working off own initiative on client specific projects and managing your own, and client team workflow.
  • Coordinating client work, and ensuring the timely delivery to the client or lead consultant
  • Identifying opportunities to innovate and drive efficiency
  • Developing junior colleagues into future associate consultants
  • Promoting an inclusive culture across Aon


How this opportunity is different

At Aon, the opportunity is much wider than just the local consulting team. You’ll quickly build a network across different offices, business areas and Aon teams, working with a variety of clients. With a persistently developing investment backdrop, we quickly allocate teams and dedicate resource to respond to market developments, providing a vast array of opportunities for consultants to specialise and create their own role within the business.

Aon has a wealth of market-leading specialists prepared to support you in your role, producing thought-provoking content and assisting with the delivery of bespoke advice to clients. Continued investment in our infrastructure and systems that support our 50,000 strong global workforce ensures you can efficiently manage your time to drive value and business results.

There is a strong focus on sharing of ideas and working as a team within the UK investment team and more broadly across Aon. During each week there are multiple department wide video conference calls keeping colleagues up to date on latest business results, ideas from specialist teams and opportunities for colleagues to put themselves forward to support new initiatives.

Recent joiner from a competitor: “At my previous company we had one person responsible for the vast majority of thought leadership and market updates. My mind was blown when I learned that at Aon we have dedicated teams of economists, risk settlement experts, and more! As well as making us so much more dynamic when responding or anticipating market or industry events, it also gives colleagues great opportunities to specialise in different emerging areas.”


We’re looking for individuals with:
  • Experience with a major consulting, fund management or banking firm, involved in advising UK occupational pension schemes
  • Knowledge of investment markets and UK pension schemes
  • Good understanding of all main asset classes, how they interact and the role they can play in meeting client objectives.
  • An understanding of how to manage a successful asset transfer.
  • Basic understanding of the asset-liability process.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written to build relationships internally and externally.
  • Making good progress against the CFA or IFoA examinations
  • A desire for a new challenge!
