Aon M&A and Transaction Solutions (AMATS) Is Looking for a Tax Insurance Broker-SVP

As part of an industry-leading team, you will help empower results for our clients by supporting the tax insurance efforts of Aon across North America.

Your Impact as a Tax Insurance Broker

Aon is seeking candidates for the position of Tax Insurance Broker. Aon is the leading broker of tax insurance in North America. The tax team is part of Aon M&A and Transaction Solutions and is staffed primarily by former practicing tax lawyers.

Tax insurance is actively used to facilitate M&A transactions, tax credit investments and as a corporate risk management tool. However, a significant opportunity exists to broaden the use of tax insurance throughout the U.S. and North American region. The ideal candidate will be entrepreneurial and highly motivated to contribute to the growth of this in-demand and fast-growing business.

The Tax Insurance Broker position is commensurate with the growth of Aon’s tax insurance business. As part of a candidate’s duties, he or she will assist Aon colleagues to drive increased use of tax insurance with existing Aon clients and prospects. Ideal candidates will be mid-level to senior tax lawyers with significant professional expertise and an established professional network as well as client-facing experience delivering tax-related services. Candidates should have a strong background in U.S. federal income taxation and significant experience with general U.S. tax law and assessments and the tax ramifications of business transactions. M&A-related and/or tax litigation experience is considered a benefit though not a requirement for the position.

The position will be at the SVP level. The candidate can be based in one of several North American Aon offices where AMATS has a presence, for example: New York, Chicago, Houston or San Francisco working with existing AMATS tax team members. It is anticipated that the position will involve travel to support producers and sales efforts and visit clients. The position will report to Jessica Harger, Managing Director of Aon’s North American Tax Insurance practice.

Job Responsibilities:

• Structuring and placing tax insurance programs on behalf of Aon’s clients
• Supporting the production efforts of Aon’s retail producers and account executives
