In Summary

Are you excited by data and decisions? Are you a natural problem solver? If so, our Data Graduate pathway could be perfect for you!

Job Description

Ready to shine bright in your career? 

Our Data pathway attracts inquisitive minds. With millions of customers, we have one of the broadest and deepest data sets in the financial services industry and beyond.  

This pathway is all about exploration and finding the answers to problems as well as discovering new, exciting opportunities to make meaningful change at Aviva. Data is central to our strategy over the next 10 years and on this pathway, you’ll be helping to steer us into the future.  

From the moment you join us, you’ll be in a permanent position where you can own and drive your development.

Get to know the different pathway roles 

There are four different specialisms on offer. We’d love for graduates to be as open as possible about the different routes. But do let us know on your application if you have a preferred role. We’ll do what we can to help you light your own path.

Pricing: Using data to price our products, analyse our performance and drive business evolution.  

Data Science: Using all kinds of scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data. 

Data Analysis: Working closely with colleagues to answer questions and make decisions about the products and services we provide. 

Data Engineering: Being part of the team responsible for designing and building the systems we use to collect, store, and analyse data. 

Reporting and Management Information: Focusing on how we analyse and visualise information to help make smarter business decisions.

Throughout the application, we’ll be testing your strengths to see what role we feel is best suited to you – so don’t worry if you do not know which to choose yet. Whatever your role, you’ll have the chance to study for a higher-level Data apprenticeship where you will earn while you learn on a structured journey. Apprenticeships up to Level 7 – the equivalent of a Master’s degree – are available. If you do enrol, Aviva will support you with dedicated time to attend classes, complete exercises, and undertake projects.

What you’ll get

• A permanent job from day one 
  
• A starting salary of £32,500
  
• Support towards relevant professional qualifications and lots of other development opportunities
  
• A great support network to help you grow into your role
  
• 29 days holiday, plus bank holidays
  
• Flexible working and wellbeing support 
  
• Opportunities to get involved and give back to our local communities with paid volunteering time
  
• Contributory pension scheme
  
• Discounts on all Aviva products
  
• Annual performance-related bonus
  
• Share Save scheme
  

What we’re looking for

• You'll either have a degree, in any subject, or be on track to graduate by the end of Summer 2025.
  
• A passion for numbers and information.
  
• A genuine interest in computing and the power of data.
  
• Programming experience isn’t essential, but an interest to learn would be beneficial.
  
• A passion and talent for solving complex problems.
  
• An ability to translate complex ideas into language that anyone can understand.
  

Where could you be based? 

Our Data opportunities are based in Bristol, London, Norwich, Eastleigh, or York: all buzzing places in which to launch your career. It’s important that you live within commuting distance of the office where the role is based, or are willing to relocate as you’ll need to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, working from home.  Not all role types are available in every location, so tell us on your application if you have a preferred location.

How to apply 

The application deadline is December 15th. However, we may close the application process earlier if we receive a large number of suitable applications. 

To set your expectations and help you prepare, there are four steps in our graduate application process:

1. Online application - complete a short questionnaire about your motivations, and submit it along with a copy of your CV. 
   
2. Online situational strengths & numerical reasoning tests.
   
3. Video interview.

Additional Information

Aviva is committed to inclusivity 

We're inclusive, and keen to attract applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Research tells us that women in particular will often rule themselves out if they feel they don't tick every box. But don't let that stop you. If you truly believe you have what it takes, we'd love to hear from you.  

We interview every disabled applicant who meets the minimum criteria for the job. During your application, there will be an opportunity for you to send us an email stating that you have a disclosed disability. 

Please submit your application online if you can. But if that presents a problem, just email avivaearlycareers@aviva.com and we'll make sure you’re supported. To find out more about working at Aviva in general, take a look here.
