Aon Graduate Programme - Data Solutions (Wealth Solutions) 2025

What your day could look like:

• Processing and cleaning of data using internal tools and processes

• Solve problems and develop solutions using methods which are efficient across large data sets

You’ll be given opportunities to work on a range of projects, gaining early exposure to clients to support your development. You’ll also can be involved in projects for one of our specialist teams, focusing in areas such as:

• Risk Settlement, advising clients on the best way to reduce risk through transferring it to a third party.

• Member Options, helping clients reduce risk and/or cost by offering pension scheme members the choice to reshape their benefits to better suit their individual circumstances.

• GMP equalisation, helping clients correct for previous benefit inequalities.
