Rewards and People Advisory Director

Director – Rewards and People Advisory

We are currently growing our UK Talent & Reward Advisory team and are looking to hire a Senior Consultant or Director to join our busy practice based in the City of London. The Advisory team is part of the wider Human Capital Solutions practice.

This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from the 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 organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

Talent Solutions helps organizations make better workforce decisions to grow and transform businesses, communities and individuals.

The Talent Advisory Team partners with our clients and supports them in developing new talent & reward approaches tailored to their particular business and its unique operating model and culture. We work with clients on a wide range of topics and the diversity of our support is a key feature of the work in our team. Our main service areas focus on total reward strategies, employee value proposition design (EVP), future skills definition, culture alignment, job architecture and levelling, and design of all of the individual components of the reward package including base pay, annual incentive plans, sales incentives and performance management.

We provide invaluable advice to companies during some of the most exciting and crucial moments in their growth and evolution – including during carve-outs and M&A scenarios where we help them to create, align and integrate talent & reward processes in a way that supports the aspirations of the new business.

This is a commercially focused role with direct client and prospect interaction and at this level, individuals would be expected to be involved in business development, closing deals as well as successful management and delivery of projects.
