We’re hiring! Do you have strong attention to detail and commitment to provide ongoing quality? Do you prioritise customer satisfaction to achieve service level agreements?

How this opportunity is different

Every day, our colleagues make a difference to people’s lives, work with the best, own their potential, and value one another. Together, we share this one purpose: to empower economic and human possibility around the world. This unifying goal is at the heart of our identity, and it lives in everything we do. As part of our diverse and established team, you’ll bring valuable skills and expertise to Aon, including previous experience in an operations environment, and a positive can-do attitude to engage and manage your team. At Aon, you will be able to enhance your current skills, while continuing to learn new ones as full training & support is provided. Knowledge of pensions is an advantage, but not essential to be successful.

Having the opportunity to work virtually and in an office environment ensures you are supported during your Aon induction through direct interaction with colleagues, trainers, and your manager, while still having the flexibility of agile working if required. Recognising the value to colleague engagement of being able to work side-by-side with other colleagues, and the stability towards client service through sharing knowledge and best practice, Aon has maintained its office base in Sheffield to ensure you are not isolated, and benefit from the supporting network that is Aon United. We work smartly in a hybrid environment, requiring you to be in the office more than 1 day per week which supports your ongoing development and training needs.

Aon offers an environment where individuals can grow and develop in a rewarding role. We are confident that you will feel just as passionate as we do in empowering results for our customers and your career. You will have responsibility for working in accordance with the Aon UK Limited Risk Management Framework, and compliance with the Aon UK Limited policies, including participation in the management of risks (including completion of mandatory training) that may adversely affect the business, interests, or reputation of any Group Company.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Team player, who can work to tight deadlines.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written (by phone and in person).
• Numerically competent.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to provide ongoing quality.
• Effective problem solving and analytical skills, including identifying solutions and making recommendations.
• Ability to effectively plan, prioritise and execute tasks, including the ability to adapt to shifting priorities, demands and timelines.
