Surety Account Specialist

Do you have a basic knowledge of Surety, bond issuance, execution, and bond management applications? Or do you enjoy working in an environment that is deadline driven and interacts with clients? Are you organized, highly focused on detail accuracy and looking to become familiar with the construction surety industry? If so, this may be the next step in your career! This role will be based in our Milwaukee, WI location.

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 organization, we are united through trust as one inclusive team and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

What the day will look like

As a Surety Account Specialist 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 Account Specialist 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 Account Specialist, you will work more independently and have more interaction with clients and Surety Advisors. A senior level Surety Account Specialist may be called on to provide mentoring and coaching to other less experienced colleagues.

All Specialists, 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, established surety lines of credit or broker authority.

A few of the tasks that will be completed:

• Prepare Consent of Surety Final Payment documents, prequalification letters, bond riders, and other documents required by clients.
• Prepare General Indemnity Agreements/bond applications.
• Run expiration lists and update the corresponding records, according to client's wishes and needs.
• Maintain accurate electronic bond files as well as financial underwriting documents.
• Invoice and maintain account receivables/payables.
• Update client underwriting information and bond records following bond execution.
