Aon’s Wealth Solutions:
Retirement teams help organisations make better decisions about pensions, retirement programmes and long-term financial commitments. In the UK, companies hold significant assets in pension schemes and must plan carefully to meet their obligations over many years. Our actuarial consultants advise trustees and employers on defined benefit pension schemes, helping them understand funding positions, manage financial and operational risks and prepare for the future.

As an Aon Summer Intern, you will work alongside experienced colleagues, earn as you learn and explore what a career as an actuary could look like. You do not need to be an actuarial expert on day one. Through structured learning and hands‑on experience, you will begin developing the quantitative, consulting and communication skills used to help clients understand and manage financial risk.

Technology, including AI-enabled tools and global delivery teams, increasingly supports routine data preparation, reconciliation and baseline calculation. This allows actuarial colleagues to focus earlier on validation, output checking, report drafting and documentation, while elevating the work towards assumption-setting, scenario analysis, methodology communication and client value. During your internship, you will learn to use digital tools thoughtfully, including framing clear prompts, refining outputs and checking AI‑supported analysis before it is used to support client work.

No two days are the same. You will work across a range of client teams, supporting colleagues who advise either the trustees responsible for pension schemes or the companies that sponsor them. You will gain hands‑on actuarial experience while developing your understanding of how data, models, clients and strategy come together to bring value.

Our aim is to help you understand the potential career path ahead while giving you real responsibility on client projects. Through classroom‑based and on‑the‑job learning, you will develop your technical and consulting skills, including key calculations, communication, project management, commercial awareness and the effective use of AI‑enabled and global delivery workflows.
