Do you love creating experiences that inspire and connect people?

This is a great job for someone who thrives on innovation and wants to make a real impact. If you’re ready to shape events that bring our strategy to life and put sustainability at the heart of everything we do, this could be your next big move.

A bit about the job:

You’ll help shape and deliver company‑wide events that reflect our strategy and sustainability goals. Working closely with teams across the business and trusted suppliers, you’ll make sure every event runs smoothly, stays on budget, and feels fresh and impactful. From planning to execution, you’ll play a key role in creating experiences that inspire colleagues and partners while supporting our net zero ambitions.

The dynamic nature of events means you’ll be hands‑on during event days, which can involve long hours, travel and some weekend work. In return, we offer the autonomy to manage your own schedule to get the job done, ensuring you have the flexibility needed to succeed in this role.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in planning and delivering events in a high‑profile environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and stay calm under pressure
• A customer‑first mindset and collaborative approach alongside strong stakeholder management experience
• Creative thinker who looks for new ways to improve and innovate
• Solid understanding of business strategy and how events can bring it to life

Our purpose – with you today, for a better tomorrow – is a promise we make to our colleagues too. And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you. We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.

• Salary circa £45,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications).
• Bonus opportunity – 10% of annual salary, actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s.
• Generous pension scheme – Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in.
• 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days.
• Aviva‑funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it.
• Make your money go further – Up to 40% discount on Aviva products, and other retailer discounts.
• Up to £1,200 of free Aviva shares per year through our Matching Share Plan and share in the success of Aviva with our Save As You Earn scheme.
• Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer’s leave.
• Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work.
• Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others.
• We take your wellbeing seriously with lots of support and tools.
