In Summary

Helping customers plan for their financial future takes good market knowledge and clear strategic thinking. But in the end, what it really comes down to is a talent for understanding people.

Job Description

Ready to shine bright in your career? 

At Aviva, we’re not just about insurance, we’re there to advise and support our customers through every important stage of their lives. In our Wealth division we specialise in helping people plan and save for the future they want – be that using JISAs or ISAs to fund their kids at university, or our award-winning pension for a stress-free retirement. We’re continually adapting to changing customer needs and regulations, so join us and have a big part in developing new strategies and improving our products. 

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 

Join us as a graduate on the Wealth pathway and you’re likely to work in one of the following main areas:

Proposition Development: Get to the heart of what our customers want and need from their products. You’ll delve into research and use market intel to make recommendations to the business and shape the products we offer.

Sales & Distribution: Here, you’ll help develop marketing and messages to win new corporate business, support the financial advisers who recommend our products, and engage directly with customers through channels like our website and mobile apps.

Investments: Help the team create and communicate the benefits of our investment offerings – matching customers to Aviva products and services that will help them achieve their financial goals.

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.
  
• An ability to create and nurture strong relationships.
  
• An analytical mind.
  
• The perception to recognise new opportunities.
  

Where could you be based?

Our Wealth Pathway opportunities are based in London, Norwich, and 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 be willing to relocate prior to start date as you’ll need to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, working from home. Three days in the office and two days from home is typical, but this will vary between teams.

 

About Us

Things graduates love about Aviva 

Yes, we’re the UK’s leading diversified insurer. But we’re customer-centric and planet-minded. We’re acting on climate change and helping others do the same. We’re building stronger communities and investing in a future we all want to live in. And we’re changing the way we do business by championing everything from the living wage to women leaders. 

We’re proud to be diverse, and just like our 19.5 million customers, our people are a mix of cultures, genders, and ages. We understand that one size doesn’t fit all and promote flexible ways of working for our team, so you can find your spark, your way. 

The work we do is rewarding and challenging. And whatever role you’re in, we’ll give you the training you need as well as opportunities for you to develop yourself and grow in your career. We’re continuously moving forward as a business, and we’ll make sure you do too.

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 and numerical reasoning tests.
   
3. Video interview.
   
4. Virtual assessment day with tasks that enable you to show us what you're good at and what you enjoy. 
   

Shine there and we'll offer you a role to start in September 2025. 

Please note: At Aviva we offer multiple graduate pathways, of which, this is one. We ask that you only apply for one pathway - the one that most aligns to your strengths and interests. If you do make more than one application, we will only accept your first. 

 

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.
