Senior Project Manager

Senior Project Manager

Are you a project manager with attention to detail and an ability to draw creative conclusions and see the big picture? Do you enjoy working flexibility from home and from an office? If so, we may have the perfect opportunity for you?…

Aon is currently recruiting a Project Manager to join our UK Change team. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work virtually and from our London office, or another of our many offices in the South of England. You choose!

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

As a Senior Project Manager you will have responsibility for all aspects of the project over the entire life-cycle (initiate, plan, execute, control, close). You must be familiar with scope and project objectives, as well as the role and function of each project team member and be able to drive projects to completion within agreed timescales ensuring that the benefits and outcomes are in line with expectations and in accordance with formal governance requirements.

You’ll need to be innovative, demonstrating not just a technical ability to follow a project methodology but the confidence and skill to tailor the delivery approach to match challenges as they occur. Hands-on ownership with a critical eye for detail is key to being successful in this role.

Key aspects of the role:

• Working closely with the change leads and business leaders to shape and deliver UK strategic projects

• Ensuring adherence to project management and governance principles and methods

• Managing the project team to ensure successful delivery

• Working closely with sponsors and stakeholders, ensuring delivery against project outcomes and plans

• Contributing to the development of change methodologies and the operation of the UK Change Team; and the promotion of strong project management fields and ethos across the organisation

• Providing insightful reporting on project progress to key collaborators

• Supporting the Programme Manger and Portfolio Director

  How this opportunity is different

  As part of the change function, you will be part of an outstanding team where you will have the opportunity to play a meaningful role in crafting the change capability for Aon!

  Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Solid understanding of Project Management methodologies (PMI agile and waterfall) and structures and can demonstrate a pragmatic application of these

• Track record of project delivery and change management within the Insurance or FS industry.

• Ability to initiate, grow and maintain strong working relationships at all levels including executive sponsors, business leaders, subject matter experts and other key stakeholders

• Ability to shape and lead the successful completion of project deliverables and solutions, often to tight deadlines, working under pressure

• Able to manage numerous workstreams simultaneously, prioritising key actions to ensure close management of stakeholders and action owners in order to achieve successful delivery of project products and outputs

• Able to support the continuous improvement of our methodologies and support colleagues in their adoption of best practice

  How we support our colleagues

  In addition to our comprehensive benefits package, we encourage a diverse workforce. Plus, our agile, inclusive environment allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance, ensuring you can be your best self at Aon. Furthermore, all colleagues enjoy two “Global Wellbeing Days” each year, encouraging you to take time to focus on yourself. We offer a variety of working style solutions, but we also recognise that flexibility goes beyond just the place of work… and we are all for it. We call this Smart Working!

  Our continuous learning culture inspires and equips you to learn, share and grow, helping you achieve your fullest potential. As a result, at Aon, you are more connected, more relevant, and more valued.

  We provide individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodations to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment in accordance with applicable law.

  Aon values an innovative, diverse workplace where all colleagues feel empowered to be their authentic selves. Aon is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. #li-hybrid
