Junior Consultant, Reward and People Advisory
Do you want to make a tangible difference to client's talent and 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 & reward approaches tailored to their particular business and its 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 invaluable 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 & 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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What The Day Will Look Like
As a Junior Consultant some of your key responsibilities will involve:
- Understand and identify client needs, including business and reward strategy, complexities of data gathering and handling, data nuances and caveats, and best practices.
- Provide and interpret competitive trends and market data patterns, implications for client compensation programmes and HR strategies.
- Produce deliverables for review by the Project Manager/ Senior Consultant.
- Directly lead client relationships, for either overall project or own section of project.
- Support colleagues in creating, exploiting and growing the reward consulting business and have a good grasp of how the work can be leveraged to other areas of the firm.
- Manage day-to-day operations and project tasks associated with either entire project or section of project.
- Complete all time recording and expenses on time.
- Ensure overall project or own project responsibilities are completed within agreed budgets and timelines.
- Be aware of changes to reward practice and legislation in the market, and consider how current Aon products could be enhanced or marketed to take advantage of the changes.
- Consider opportunities to introduce standardisation to current products or service lines, in order to improve cost efficiencies.
How This Opportunity Is Different
Our main service areas focus on total reward strategies, employee value proposition design (EVP), future skills definition, culture alignment, job architecture and levelling (underpinned by our refreshingly straight-forward job evaluation methodology, JobLink) and design of all of the individual components of the reward package including base pay, annual incentive plans, sales incentives and performance management. Being Aon, we are of course able to call on some of the best expertise in the market to support our work (e.g. Benefits, pensions and market data as already mentioned).

Our clients range from small local start-ups to some of the largest and best known global brands. This particular role will be UK based but you will be part of a wider EMEA Advisory Team and also working alongside global colleagues based on the specific needs of each individual project.
Skills And Experience That Will Lead To Success
As a Senior Associate Consultant your skills and qualifications will ideally include:
- Excellent MS Excel skills. Additional analytical & modelling skills are a plus.
- Experience in data analysis and reporting
- Client relationship management experience is preferable
- Experience of project management processes and practices
- Experience of producing and presenting reports, in a clear and concise manor, to a variety of audiences (including analysts, non-HR managers and executives)
- Some experience in a compensation/benefits function or consultancy
