Business Development Manager
Does networking and striking up conversation come naturally to you? Are you someone who is driven by the prospect of following a lead and engaging with potential clients? Does working for an organisation who is a global leader in their field appeal to you? If so, we would love to hear from you.
The Aon Business Development Manager is a role where you will have broader conversations around Health, Wellbeing and Employee Benefits. You will engage with senior leaders in mid to large corporate and global businesses and be at the forefront of securing new opportunities for clients to work with Aon. The best part - it's a hybrid role, giving you the flexibility to work at home, in our office (Farnborough), or visit clients (mainly in Farnborough/M25 area) - it all depends on you and the moments that matter.
