How this opportunity is different
Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group (STG) is recruiting for an Affiliate / Associate to join our strategy consulting team in Rotterdam. Aon STG is Aon’s global consulting and technology business focused on, but not limited to, insurance and reinsurance companies and capital investors in the insurance industry. The 400+ team provides strategy and actuarial consulting and technology services to many of the most prestigious companies in global (re)insurance. We have privileged access to Aon’s proprietary data and the knowledge of its global network of insurance industry experts to derive unique and compelling insights into the sources of competitive advantage in one of the most intellectually demanding and globally relevant industries.
Your role will involve delivering exceptional insights and work for our clients and building enduring relationships with them to support their growth and performance in insurance markets across UK and EMEA.
Created in 2008, our consulting team has grown year on year, and we are based in our main offices in London, New York, Chicago, Rotterdam, Singapore, and Sydney. Our team is dynamic, diverse, and international. We are enthusiastic adopters of hybrid working and are flexible on day-to-day location. We continue to expand and are looking for the right candidate to support and participate in our success. We are proud of the opportunities we create for career development and the direct access our team has to the most influential decisionmakers in our industry.
From day one, you will work on board level strategy topics, such as:
- Entering new global and regional markets
- Defining growth strategies for global (re)insurers
- Supporting Tier-1 private equity transactions and commercial due diligences
- Designing operating models for complex, international insurance platforms
- Assessing how AI, analytics, and capital structures reshape the industry
This is pure strategy work — you will help shape decisions that move billions in capital and risk.

In addition, you will work closely with subject matter experts across the firm to ensure we capture their unique expertise in our project work.
Responsibilities
