As a Commercial Risk Associate, you will build the skills, confidence and client-service knowledge needed to support account activity, coordinate renewals, manage documentation and serve as a credible point of contact for clients and internal partners.

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 organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive team and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What is Account Management

Account Management helps clients stay informed, supported and prepared throughout the insurance and risk management process. Account Managers work with clients, Brokers, Account Executives and internal service teams to coordinate account activity, support renewals, manage client requests and help deliver high-quality client service.

By combining relationship-building, organization, risk awareness and technology-enabled workflows, Account Managers help keep client service moving and support the long-term retention and growth of client relationships.

What You Will Do

As a Commercial Risk Associate, you will build hands-on account management experience while developing an understanding of how risk, clients, markets and service teams come together to create value for clients. Technology, including AI-enabled tools and global delivery teams,



increasingly supports routine processing, allowing Account Managers to focus earlier on judgment, client guidance, workflow orchestration and account retention and growth.
