A bit about the role:

As part of the Aviva Client Change team within the wider Aviva Investors Insurance & Investment Solutions function, this role plays a key part in supporting change delivery aligned to the strategic objectives and values of Aviva’s UK and Ireland Insurance businesses. You will work flexibly across Aviva Investors to analyse and map the existing operating model, assess current and future state, and complete detailed analysis of backbook data. A core focus of the role will be reviewing the current approach to collecting and storing data, and engaging business sponsors, stakeholders, and third‑party partners throughout. You will help maintain transparency of project status, escalating issues quickly with clear remediation options, and proactively identifying and managing risks throughout the project lifecycle. The role also includes assessing the impact of any proposed change on scope, timelines, cost and benefits, providing well‑reasoned options for Steering Committee decision‑making. In addition, you’ll support the timely production of materials for Working Groups, Committees and other forums, and produce accurate, comprehensive documentation – including project management artefacts, operating models and procedures – ensuring they are reviewed and approved in line with governance requirements.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Project Management qualifications e.g. PRINCE2, AgilePM, PMI or equivalent

• Experience working within asset management - preferably with good private markets exposure and understanding

• Evidence of successfully delivering end-to-end project analysis for a complex and changing organisation, addressing the ambiguity and conflicting demands that may result

• Proven ability to deal effectively with issues in a proactive way that achieves the right outcome for both the client and the business

• Experience delivering analysis in the investment / asset management industry impacting users from the front, middle and/or back office environments
