Director, Risk & Insurance Due Diligence – M&A & Transaction Solutions, London

Are you a seasoned Commercial Insurance professional with complementary expertise gained in large-scale, M&A due diligence? Are you keen to join and play a pivotal role within a prominent, specialist practice where you’ll take the lead on a variety of projects and advisory services in the pre-acquisition and post-deal M&A environments? If so, then we’d love to hear from you in connection with this fantastic new opportunity with Aon’s dynamic M&A Transactions Solutions (AMATS) practice situated at our flagship London office.

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. Our global AMATS practice comprises Insurance, Human Capital, Cyber & Digital, Intellectual Property and ESG authorities with a dedicated focus on transactional activity. The R&I team you’d be joining provides insurance advisory services to private equity and infrastructure funds, as well as strategic (corporate) clients, on buy-side and sell-side M&A opportunities.

What your day will look like

• Leading insurance due diligence advisory projects for private equity, infrastructure, and corporate clients in support of their M&A processes. The diligence process includes a review of a target’s exposure and insurance-related information provided in the data room, interviews with management, collection and tracking of requested information, gleaning and collation of technical insurance commentary and production of high-quality reports.
• Driving project management engagement.
• Collaborating closely with clients and other top tier advisers.
• Coordinating internal Aon expertise, resources and solutions across various practices and geographies and building an internal network.
• Determining opportunities for cross-selling other Aon products, services, and solutions.
• Facilitating post-close programme placements in our wider business.
• Building and encouraging client relationships.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• M&A transaction, due diligence and/or project management experience is essential.
• Proven general insurance experience, such as property & casualty insurance experience (broking or underwriting) across core or specialty insurance sectors is crucial, including relevant qualifications (e.g. ACII full or part qualified).
• Experience in providing risk and insurance advice in the context of an M&A scenario is also desirable.
