Launch Your Career in Broking

Aon is looking for soon-to-be graduates and recent graduates to join our Early Careers Launch Development Program as Brokers, with opportunities across Commercial Risk and Reinsurance. You do not need to be an insurance expert on day one. Through our Launch Program and on-the-job learning, you will learn how brokers help clients understand risk, navigate insurance and reinsurance markets, and make better decisions, that support resilience and growth.

As a Broker, you will build the skills, confidence and market knowledge needed to translate complex risk exposures into structured insurance programs and serve as a credible intermediary between clients and insurers.

We partner with clients across industries to design and deliver innovative risk and insurance solutions - from property and casualty to cyber and specialty risks - using data, analytics, and deep market insight to help them make better decisions and protect their business.

Reinsurance
Aon's Reinsurance team works with insurance companies and other risk-bearing organizations to design reinsurance and capital solutions that strengthen their balance sheets and support profitable growth. By combining analytical expertise, market knowledge, and global reach, we help clients transfer risk, access capital, and respond to emerging challenges such as natural catastrophes, climate risk, and changing regulatory environments.
