This is a virtual role with the flexibility to work from home or from any local Aon office in the US.

What the day will look like

The Client Service Manager (CSM) is responsible for delivering the Aon PEP 401(k) Plan to a portfolio of participating employers. CSMs are the main client contact for service delivery and work closely with Aon PEP leaders and our service partners to deliver a high-quality, market-leading 401(k) experience. In addition, the Client Service Manager must:

  • Have a strong command of client objectives
  • Stay current on 401(k) regulatory and legislative landscape
  • Have at least 5 years of experience in retirement consulting, plan management, and client service

  • Ability to own and take responsibility for multiple clients; manage multiple issues, questions, and concerns on a daily basis
