Launch Your Career in Actuarial Consulting

Aon is looking for students completing a year in industry as part of their degree to join our Early Careers Launch Development Programme in actuarial roles. You do not need to be an actuarial expert on day one. Through our Launch Programme and on-the-job learning, you will develop practical actuarial and advisory skills, applying quantitative techniques to help clients understand, price and manage financial risk.

As an Actuarial Industrial Placement colleague, you will build the skills, confidence and market knowledge needed to turn complex quantitative information into clear business insight and support better client decisions. By reviewing AI-pre-populated baselines, setting and challenging assumptions, and interpreting results, you will learn how AI and global delivery teams can support routine calculation so that effort concentrates on judgement, scenario thinking and communication, while preserving the hands‑on experience needed to develop your actuarial understanding.

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.

Technology, including AI-enabled tools and global delivery teams, increasingly supports routine data preparation, reconciliation and baseline calculation. During your placement, you will learn how these tools support actuarial work and how colleagues use them to focus on validation, output checking, report drafting and documentation. With guidance, you will practise framing clear prompts, refining outputs for the task and client context, checking AI-supported analysis, testing assumptions and recognising when human judgement is needed.

We will help you build your understanding of key calculations, communication techniques, project delivery, digital workflows, commercial awareness and professional judgement.

During your placement, you will gain hands‑on actuarial experience. You will develop your understanding of how data, models, evidence, client needs, and business priorities build value. You will be supported to ask questions, explore different perspectives and connect your work to the decisions it helps inform.

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.

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 meaningful experience while developing the technical, consulting and professional skills needed for a future actuarial career.
