Surety Analyst

Aon has an opportunity available for a Surety Analyst in Chicago!

Do you have a basic knowledge of Surety, bond issuance and execution and Surety bond management applications? Or are you organized, meticulous and would like to become familiar with the industry and various types of bonds, including bid, final, miscellaneous and court bonds? If so, this may be the next step in your career!

This role will be based out of our office in Chicago.

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 team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

As a Surety Analyst your day will vary depending on the level of Surety experience you have. If you have no Surety experience, we will provide all required training and mentorship to help you on your way. A less experienced Surety Analyst will learn how to provide surety technical advice/support to non-surety personnel and coordinate receipt of pertinent underwriting information. If you are a more experienced Analyst, you will work more independently and have more interaction with clients and Surety Advisors. A senior level Surety Analyst may be called on to provide mentoring and coaching to other less experienced colleagues.

All Analysts, regardless of Surety knowledge, will confirm that bonds are issued in compliance with surety lines of credit and assist in the negotiation of approvals for execution of bonds that are outside of, or in excess of, surety line of credit or broker authority.
