Are you dynamic, resilient and want to be involved in delivering change that drives Aviva strategy? If you do, you could be part of this transformation.

At Aviva we love to constantly innovate and improve the experience and security for our customers. We have brought together all our technology change agents to drive deliveries and outcomes, which means that you can work on projects and programmes across Cyber, Data, Digital, Cloud, Networks, Shared Technology Services and Business Operations.

  • The ability to work at pace with resiliency whilst showing a willingness to try new ways of working and solutions (Professional level of accreditation (e.g., Prince 2) preferred but not essential)

  • Skilled in leading virtual teams and third-party suppliers effectively

  • The ability to think out of the box, driving innovation in the way in which we deliver change and outcomes

  • Capable of working with senior stakeholders with strong and effective influencing skills to challenge and drive the necessary changes

  • Starting salary between £40000 - £60000 (depending on skills, experience, and qualifications)

  • Generous pension (starting level Aviva contributes 8% when you contribute 2%)

  • Eligibility for annual performance bonus

  • Family friendly parental and carer’s leave

  • 29 days holiday per year plus bank holidays and the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days
