Accountancy Officer

Associate Director - Capital Optimisation - AMATS

Can you bring a strong understanding of capital management and risk financing solutions to a new role within Aon's Mergers & Acquisitions & Transaction Solutions (AMATS) team, or do you have equivalent experience?

Are you able to lead sophisticated projects and deliver client-facing solutions within cross-functional teams ?

If so, we'd love to hear from you in connection with this hybrid working opportunity based from our flagship 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.

What the day will look like

• Partner with CFOs, private equity sponsors and corporates to shape capital optimisation strategies that strengthen balance sheets and unlock growth.
• Originate and structure insurance‑backed and risk‑transfer solutions, translating complex ideas into clear, compelling client value.
• Lead deep financial, risk and capital analysis to quantify efficiency, valuation impact and transaction outcomes.
• Collaborate daily with colleagues across M&A, Credit, Reinsurance and Asset Management to deliver integrated, market‑leading solutions.
• Take solutions to market — accomplishing deals, deepening senior relationships and representing Aon at client forums and industry events.

How this opportunity is different

This role is genuinely different. Sitting at the intersection of M&A, credit, insurance and capital markets, it gives you the chance to shape and deliver innovative, insurance‑backed capital optimisation solutions that materially change transaction outcomes. You’ll engage in complex, high-value deals with private equity and corporate clients. You will collaborate across Aon’s global platform. You will apply commercial judgement, structuring insight, and critical thinking to unlock trapped capital in unique ways.

It’s a rare opportunity to combine origination, execution and thought leadership in a fast‑growing, market‑leading team.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Demonstrable experience in corporate finance, insurance/reinsurance, structured risk solutions, or M&A advisory, with strong commercial judgement.
• Deep understanding of financing and working capital solutions, ideally with knowledge of how credit insurance and surety can enhance these.
• Proven ability to lead and deliver complex, client‑facing projects, working effectively across cross‑functional and international teams.
• Good knowledge of fund finance structures supporting private credit, private equity and infrastructure funds
• Strong quantitative and analytical capability, with confidence in financial modelling, valuation frameworks, and data-driven decision making
• Excellent communication and collaborator management skills, with credibility and impact at C‑suite level in a matrixed, global environment.
