Junior Consultant, Reward and People Advisory
Do you want to make a tangible difference to clients’ talent, reward strategies, and overall employee value proposition?
Do you want to work in a highly successful team with great rewards and flexibility? Then we have a great opportunity for you!
We’re looking for an Associate Consultant to join our growing Talent Advisory practice based in London. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our 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.
The Talent Advisory Team
The Talent Advisory team is part of the wider Talent Solutions practice. We partner with our clients and support them in developing new talent and reward approaches tailored to their particular business and unique operating model and culture. We work with clients on a wide range of topics, and the diversity of our support is a key feature of the work in our team.
We provide valuable advice to companies during some of the most exciting and crucial moments in their growth and evolution—including during carve-outs and M&A scenarios, where we help them to create, align, and integrate talent and reward processes in a way that supports the aspirations of the new business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
