Project Director – Human Capital Transaction Advisory Services
Are you a seasoned Human Capital professional with complementary expertise gained in large-scale, M&A due diligence?
Are you keen to join and play a pivotal role within a prominent, specialist practice where you’ll take the lead on a variety of projects and advisory services in the pre-acquisition and post-deal M&A environments?
If so, then we’d love to hear from you in connection with this phenomenal new opportunity with Aon’s dynamic M&A Transactions Solutions (AMATS) practice . This is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work both virtually and from our flagship London office.
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 organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

How this opportunity is different
What makes this role truly different is the breadth, visibility and impact. You’ll sit at the heart of high‑profile M&A transactions, advising private equity and blue‑chip corporate clients on their most complex people challenges, while working in a genuinely multidisciplinary environment. This is not a narrow due‑diligence role — it’s a leadership opportunity where your expertise shapes deal outcomes, unlocks post‑close value and builds long‑term client relationships, all within a fast‑growing, collaborative AMATS team that actively invests in your development and empowers you to lead with confidence.
