London, United Kingdom Aon Full time
Director (Project Manager), Risk & Insurance - M&A & Transaction Solutions, London

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Director (Project Manager / "PM") in the Risk & Insurance ("R&I") team within Aon's M&A and Transactions Solutions ("AMATS") practice in London. Our global AMATS practice comprises Insurance, Human Capital, Cyber & Digital, Intellectual Property, and ESG experts with a dedicated focus on transactional activity.

The R&I team 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 and delivers Lender Insurance Advisory ("LIA") services on project finance transactions.

The primary responsibility of the PM will be to undertake M&A insurance due diligence engagements which provide project management and advisory services to Buyers and Sellers in the pre-acquisition and pre-sale environment. The project work will consist of:

  1. Insurance due diligence
  2. Planning for post-closing insurance programmes
  3. New entity cost structures
  4. Reviewing applicable transaction documentation

Additionally, the role will involve the proactive identification of any additional M&A insurance solutions and wider advisory services that Aon may also be able to provide to clients during the transaction and following the completion of a deal. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our 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.

What the day will look like

Undertaking insurance due diligence advisory for private equity, infrastructure, and corporate clients in support of their M&A processes; diligence includes:

  1. A review of a target's exposure and insurance-related information provided in the data room
  2. Interviews with management
  3. Collection and tracking of requested information
  4. Gleaning and collation of technical insurance commentary
  5. Production of high-quality diligence reports

Further responsibilities include:

  1. Driving project management engagement
  2. Liaising with clients and other advisors
  3. Coordinating internal Aon expertise/resources/solutions across various practices and geographies and building an internal network
  4. Determining opportunities for cross-selling other Aon products, services, and solutions
  5. Management of post-close programme placement
  6. Building and fostering client relationships
How this opportunity is different

Whilst this job opportunity focuses on an M&A advisory, we are also open to applications from candidates with infrastructure and project finance/LIA experience who are seeking a hybrid role covering both M&A and LIA projects. The role will provide a great opportunity for contributing to the development of more junior members of the team, along with building a strong internal and external network. Key to the role will be the coordination of resources, technical advice, and solutions across various geographies and practices within Aon. Regular interface with the Client and their advisors is a key facet of the role.

Skills and experience that will lead to success
  1. ACII (full or part qualified) - Essential
  2. Proven general insurance experience, such as Property & casualty insurance experience (broking or underwriting) across core or specialty insurance sectors - Essential
  3. Specific M&A transaction and/or project management experience - Essential
  4. Private Equity/Corporate M&A or Project Finance transaction experience - Desirable
How we support our colleagues

In addition to our comprehensive benefits package, we encourage a diverse workforce. Plus, our agile, inclusive environment allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance, ensuring you can be your best self at Aon. Furthermore, all colleagues enjoy two "Global Wellbeing Days" each year, encouraging you to take time to focus on yourself.

We offer a variety of working style solutions, but we also recognise that flexibility goes beyond just the place of work... and we are all for it. We call this Smart Working

Our continuous learning culture inspires and equips you to learn, share, and grow, helping you achieve your fullest potential. As a result, at Aon, you are more connected, more relevant, and more valued.
