This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in leading complex challenges, delivering new data products and overseeing the build out of a new data platform amongst the backdrop of a rapidly scaling new business. We are committed to creating a culture of agility, design-thinking, and true cross-functional collaboration. If you have successfully merged technical product delivery together with insurance-focussed product strategy, then we absolutely want to hear from you.

Aviva Zero is a greenfield Personal Lines insurer headquartered in London, set with the ambition to be the best in the UK market. It will combine the pace, focus, and test and learn mentality of a start-up with the expertise and financial backing of Aviva.

As a Technical Product Owner for Data, you are responsible for:

• Full accountability for facilitating the delivery of data analytics products and services, working with a dedicated Data Engineering team.
• Overseeing the delivery of new data analytics capabilities and platform enhancements in accordance with the Aviva Zero Data Strategy, platform roadmap, and defined architecture patterns.
• Facilitating the delivery of key regulatory, performance, and financial data into the central BI reporting teams.
• Leading a stakeholder engagement and prioritisation strategy – enabling both internal and external demand - and providing clear direction into the Data Engineering team, working alongside the Lead Data Engineers to define agile sprint plans and target delivery dates for key feature builds.
• Providing oversight of a team with responsibility to develop, construct, test and maintain user-friendly data architectures and to design innovative new solutions to enable leading edge data science, whilst driving effective data governance.
• Lead the expansion of an Aviva Zero Data Strategy – with new Data Quality and Data Governance requirements at its heart.
• Support the delivery of good customer outcomes through all activities and deliverables, enabling us to act in good faith towards customers, avoid causing foreseeable harm and enable and support our customers to pursue their financial objectives.
• Oversee business analysis and requirements definition activities - driving high performance and ensuring activities are carried out efficiently and to a high standard, whilst supporting performance management and coaching.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Solid experience as a data-focussed product manager, ideally within the context of insurance, with working knowledge of data modelling and querying techniques - experience working with Snowflake a bonus.
• Experience in handling complex, high-pressure, data analytics requirements.
• Versatile with multiple delivery methodologies, with strong cross-functional stakeholder management capabilities; able to balance desired pace of change with technical risk considerations.
• Technologically adept and demonstrates outstanding ability to translate and broker business-level product requirements with technical solution architectures and design patterns.
• Confident communicator in leading cross-functional change initiatives; managing overall product strategy alongside regulatory, information security, and legal compliance requirements.

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 £85,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications).
• Bonus opportunity - 12% 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.
