Job Description:

Operational Resilience Specialist – Salary circa £55,000 (DOE)

We have an exciting opportunity to be part of the Operational Resilience team. Operational resilience is a crucial outcome that Aviva must achieve for our customers, the key objective being that we can continue to deliver critical operations through periods of disruption.

As an Operational Resilience Specialist, you will play a key role in helping Aviva achieve these ambitions. If you’re someone who has a passion for making a real difference to our customers, we would love to hear from you!

The role offers the opportunity to gain a deep knowledge of how Aviva’s UK Businesses operate and support the resilience of key services preventing intolerable harm to our customers. This is the ideal role if you are someone who thrives in working in a fast paced and results orientated environment and is comfortable adapting to changing demands.

Your role will have a particular focus on ensuring the resilience of the AIG Life Protection business which Aviva acquired earlier in 2024. You will work with a wide range of stakeholders from both Aviva and AIGL to understand the changing landscape and ensure resilience is a key consideration in all relevant decisions.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

Proven track record of delivering operational resilience activities within the Financial Services industry.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to multitask, meeting short-term deadlines while progressing longer-term objectives.

Good communication and stakeholder management skills. The ability to work collaboratively and effectively with teams across multiple business areas to drive strategic outcomes is key.

Enjoy proactively identifying and implementing improvement opportunities.

Proactive self-starter who can work independently but shows good judgment of when to involve others.

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 £55,000 (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.

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.
