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, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What the day will look like

Using significant expertise of all major catastrophe models, our analysts overcome data and model limitations to provide clients with a comprehensive view of their portfolio. The team is in regular dialogue with all major modelling firms and provides clients with detailed explanations for model changes and interpreting their potential effect on results.


Key responsibilities include -

  • Collecting, manipulating and interrogating client exposure and claim data in MS Excel or SQL to support analyses;
  • Utilising catastrophe modelling software to determine clients' exposure to catastrophe hazards such as earthquake, cyclone and bushfire;
  • Analysing clients' historical data to assess their exposure to future large non-catastrophe losses;
  • Using reinsurance optimisation techniques to determine reinsurance strategies that maximise the likelihood that clients can meet their financial goals;
  • Effectively communicating results to internal and external stakeholders using written reports and/or presentations;
  • Developing effective working relationships with internal and external clients; and
  • Actively contributing to research and development ideas.

How this opportunity is different

Our catastrophe management team assesses client catastrophe exposure, models loss estimates and, alongside our actuaries and brokers, designs reinsurance programs to efficiently manage net risks. In addition, we leverage that knowledge into improvements in catastrophe reinsurance cost recovery and overall portfolio optimization.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

  • The ability to work well within a team, a curious mindset and strong problem solving and analytical skills
  • Tertiary qualifications in relevant field of study – actuarial studies, mathematics or statistics
  • Knowledge of catastrophe modelling software (preferred)
  • Advanced Excel skills and strong a working knowledge of MS Word, SQL and PowerPoint
  • Excellent communication skills (both oral and written)
  • Tableau or PowerBI experience
  • Insurance or reinsurance experience
  • Experience with VBA, Python, R an advantage but not essential
  • Excellent organisation skills and ability to work under pressure
  • Self-discipline to manage own workflow and deadlines

Plus, our agile, inclusive environment allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance, ensuring you can be your best self at Aon.
