What the day will look like

The role of the Technical Executive is to provide technical product support to Aon staff across general insurance product lines. This position sits within a team of dedicated insurance technicians, who work closely together ensuring first class support to Aon staff and clients.

This includes the following tasks:

• A strong focus on the development and drafting of new and updated insurance products, with a specific focus on Aon’s own manufactured policies;
• Review and triage insurer endorsements for the Aon Technical library so colleagues have access to derogation commentary;
• The development and delivery of insurance product training to Aon staff, and on occasion, to Aon’s clients. Training topics vary and may focus on a refreshed or newly developed Aon insurance product, the impact of commercial contracting on insurance programs, or new tools developed by the Technical Team to assist colleagues with their day-to-day duties;
• Collaborating with other teams within Aon to progress projects and deliver against Aon’s goals, for example, the Compliance team, Placement, the Platforms Team, and Technology.
• Contributing to or leading the development and maintenance of tools designed to empower Aon’s colleagues to access technical resources and know-how;
• Assist with the development of internal communications on insurance product developments and other topical insurance issues;
• The comparison of insurance products and the drafting of supporting endorsements or derogation notices; and
• Providing “one-off” technical advice on policy interpretation, policy coverage, and other queries as they relate to the construction of a general insurance policy.
