What the day will look like on one of our actuarial teams

We offer four exciting paths from which to choose, each with an outstanding opportunity as you begin your career

Retirement Consulting (SOA Exam Track)

Pension and retirement plans have evolving financial implications for employers. Actuaries within retirement consulting work directly with our clients’ management teams to assess the costs associated with these commitments. You will have access to a variety of areas in your first few months with Aon, including annual pension valuations, in which actuaries collect census data from clients and perform analysis and reporting to help our clients assess the ongoing financial health of their pension plans.

Responsibilities include:

• Crafting projections (both stochastic and deterministic) of long-term financial information for pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.
• Coordination of asset-liability analysis and other studies with investment consultants.

• Design and costing of new retirement programs.
• Programming innovative pension administration systems.
• Pension benefit calculations for participants.
• Union negotiation support and analysis.
• Quantitative comparison of comprehensive employee benefit programs for groups of employers.

Health and Benefits Consulting (SOA Exam Track)

Employer-sponsored health and welfare benefit programs form the foundation of the U.S. health care system. These programs have evolved over time as employers have attempted to handle the changing needs of employees, rising program costs and the impact of new legislation while supporting their human resource and business strategies.

H&B actuaries support consultants and engage with clients directly to develop comprehensive benefit strategies. This process involves strategic assessments of the health care market and key trends and the identification of fresh and unique solutions to employer problems.

Among the various areas of exposure are:

• Evaluation of plan design and costs relative to benchmarks and rate-setting for self-insured plans, including the analysis of medical and prescription drug network changes.
• Employee contribution rate development and scenario analysis, analysis of plan renewals for appropriateness and carrier bid financial evaluations.
• Valuation of retiree medical and disability plans.
