Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

During my time at Aon, I had the opportunity to work with several different teams within the wealth segment, gaining exposure to a variety of projects and processes. My responsibilities included supporting quarterly reviews, assisting with billing, helping with client transitions, and contributing to other operational tasks as needed. I regularly used Excel to organise and analyse data, create charts and graphs, and develop clear, comprehensive slide decks to present key findings

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

In my experience, colleagues delegated meaningful tasks to me early on, which required a strong sense of personal responsibility. At the same time, they provided excellent support and were always happy to explain more complex aspects of the work.
