Associate Consultant , Reward and People Advisory
Do you want to start building your career in shaping talent and reward strategies and supporting organisations to design their employee value proposition?
Do you enjoy working with data, solving problems and learning how organisations attract, retain and develop talent?
If so, we have a great opportunity for you.
We’re looking for an Associate Consultant to join our growing Talent Advisory practice based in London. 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 organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive team and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
The Talent Advisory Team
The Talent Advisory team is part of the wider Talent Solutions practice. We partner with our clients and support 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.
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.
What the day will look like
As an Associate Consultant, you will support the delivery of a wide range of talent advisory projects. Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the team in understanding client requirements, including business and reward strategies
- Assisting with data gathering, analysis and interpretation of market trends and insights
- Contributing to the preparation of client deliverables for review by senior colleagues
- Supporting project teams with coordination and day-to-day delivery activities
- Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider Talent Advisory team
- Maintaining high levels of accuracy across data, reporting and documentation
- Managing your own tasks and priorities to meet agreed timelines
- Completing time recording and expenses in a timely manner
- Building your understanding of reward practices, market trends and relevant legislation
How this opportunity is different
Our main service areas focus on total reward strategies, employee value proposition design (EVP), future skills definition, culture alignment, job architecture and levelling (underpinned by our refreshingly straight-forward job evaluation methodology, JobLink) and design of all of the individual components of the reward package including base pay, annual incentive plans, sales incentives and performance management. Being Aon, we are of course able to call on some of the best expertise in the market to support our work (e.g. benefits, pensions and market data as already mentioned).
Our clients range from small local start-ups to some of the largest and best known global brands. This particular role will be UK based but you will be part of a wider EMEA Advisory Team and also working alongside global colleagues based on the specific needs of each individual project.
Skills and experience that will lead to success
We’re keen to hear from candidates who are early in their careers and are looking to develop within consulting. You will ideally bring:
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data
- An interest in data analysis, insight generation and problem-solving
- Good attention to detail and organisational skills
- Clear communication skills, both written and verbal
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively
- A collaborative approach and willingness to learn from others
- Exposure to reward, HR, consulting, or a related field is beneficial, but not essential
