Can you bring an outstanding combination of organisational skills, an ability to build strong personal relationships and experience with real estate, law, finance or tax in your education to a role within our prestigious AMATS team?

Are you a dynamic self-starter with a thirst to be part of a high performing team which values the contribution of all team members?

If so, then we'd love to hear from you in connection with this exciting opportunity supporting our strong growth strategy as we adopt and embrace technology and other innovative practices in our existing business model !

Based in our flagship London office, this role comes with hybrid working practices.
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

In this wide and varied role your role and responsibilities will include:

• Leading day to day delivery of broking placements on a range of M&A transactions with a focus on Real Estate M&A- including client and insurer engagement, preparation of insurer submissions, drafting of client reports, project managing the underwriting process, and handling policy binding
• Supervise post-transaction handling of invoicing and collating post-deal marketing collateral.
• Manage collaborator relationships (with client and adviser relationships being key to business generation).
• Attend external networking events, conferences, and seminars and contribute to business development efforts.
• Boost understanding of the broader AMATS and Aon Real Estate M&A capabilities to effectively connect with collaborators.

How this opportunity is different

We support clients across a wide range of transactions, including buy‑ and sell‑side deals, carve‑outs, distressed M&A and secondary market transactions. Our work spans both UK domestic and international mandates, covering the full deal spectrum-from the largest, most complex multi‑billion‑pound transactions to sub‑£50m deals.

Joining as an Associate Director, you will benefit from significant and clearly defined career progression opportunities-initially within Transaction Solutions and, over time, across the wider AMATS division. As part of Aon's global organisation, high‑performing talent also enjoys access to broader domestic and international career pathways.
