Aon Graduate Programme - Client Management 2025

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 graduate 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 graduate.

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 graduate, 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 great 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 both classroom-based and on-the-job training. Throughout your careers 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

• Producing and delivering clear and accurate internal and client correspondence, including advice
• Attending and planning client meetings and conference calls, taking minutes and managing the follow-up actions
• 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 a part in delivering client satisfaction, retention and profitability
• Effectively influencing and negotiating with other teams both internal and external through development of working relationships to ensure client commitments are met
• Participating in team meetings, keeping others updated on developments, providing feedback following discussions and involving others in identifying service improvements where appropriate
• Ensuring appropriate legislative, regulatory, business, practice and professional standards are followed.
