Equity Service Senior Consultant
Aon is looking for an Equity Compensation Senior Consultant - Hybrid!
Aon Equity Services is the country's leading full-service provider of consulting services related to equity-based compensation - providing plan design, valuation, tax & financial accounting, performance monitoring & tracking, employee education and communication, corporate governance, and investor outreach services to hundreds of publicly traded companies each year. Due to the continued growth of our practice, we are seeking to expand our Equity Services team.
The primary function of this position is to apply technical and analytical consulting skills to assist clients with the design and valuation of equity-based compensation, through the development and adaptation of Excel-based statistical models (Black-Scholes, lattice-based models, Monte Carlo simulations, etc.), for financial accounting and reporting purposes. The ideal candidate has robust quantitative and interpersonal skills, is a quick learner, is able to support multiple projects while working independently, and has an intellectual curiosity and a desire to stay up to date on an ever-evolving subject matter. This position will have frequent communications with clients - often including members of the client's senior leadership team. Enhanced knowledge of the financial accounting standards is preferred. Individuals in this role will be expected to refine and apply knowledge of compensation design and implementation practices to deliver high quality and effective client solutions. This position will lead projects with minimum direction from more experienced consultants and/or serve as a team member for larger, more complex client engagements. This role will primarily deliver billable client work but will support selling efforts and be a part of proposal teams.
