Business Development Manager

Aon is a leading global professional services firm, operating in 120 countries and sovereignties, providing advice and solutions for businesses in risk, retirement, and health, at a time when these topics have never been more important to the global economy.

Aon is in the business of better decisions

Aon exists to shape decisions for the better — to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. Our colleagues provide our clients with advice and solutions that give them the clarity and confidence to make better decisions to protect and grow their business.

Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions business provides risk transfer, claims advocacy and capital management solutions, enabled by data and analytics, to help our clients navigate this volatility and uncertainty. The Global Growth Operations team supports colleagues in Reinsurance Solutions to accelerate growth. Currently we are looking for a Business Development Manager to be based in Prague and work with colleagues around the world, with a principle focus on EMEA including the UK. The position will report directly to the Head of Growth Operations in London. This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our Prague office.
