The opportunity

At Aviva, we protect what matters - homes, cars, businesses, and more. But every insurance policy starts with a decision: should we insure this risk, and at what price? That’s where you come in.

In Underwriting, you’ll assess risks, negotiate terms, and decide whether we should offer cover. It’s about confident decision-making, commercial awareness, and building strong relationships. You’ll be at the centre of it all - helping shape how we protect our customers.

In Pricing, you’ll dive into data, build models, and use market insight to calculate fair, competitive premiums. It’s a role for detail-driven thinkers who love solving complex problems and making data-led decisions. If you’re joining one of our Pricing roles in London, you’ll study towards your Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) qualification-with full support from us to help you succeed. For other roles, you’ll also have the opportunity to pursue relevant professional qualifications, backed by the same level of support and encouragement.

From day one, you’ll be learning, growing, and making a real impact. You’ll train alongside expert underwriters and pricing professionals, gaining hands-on experience and insight into how we assess risk and set prices. You’ll explore fascinating topics like climate change, global trade, and customer behaviour - understanding how these shape insurance decisions.

You’ll also get to grips with the financial mechanics behind insurance, supported every step of the way with coaching, data tools, and guidance from senior leaders. You may rotate across teams, helping you build a broad foundation and discover where your strengths lie.

We’ll support your professional development too. If you join a Pricing role in London, you’ll study towards your IFoA qualification. Other roles offer relevant qualifications, all backed by full support.

Plus, you’ll take part in our central development programme in years one and two - giving you the confidence, skills, and experience to thrive now and in the future.

Whatever your role and whatever your background, you’ll get the training you need to shine bright as well as opportunities to develop long-term in your career. We’re continuously moving forward as a business, and we’ll make sure you do too.

And if you need support with your online application or you need to apply another way, we’ve got you covered there, too. Just reach out to avivaearlycareers@aviva.com.

The roles
There are two roles on offer within our Pricing & Underwriting Pathway, based in one or other of Norwich, London and York: all buzzing places in which to launch your career. You’ll be able to tell us on your application which role you prefer. We champion hybrid working at Aviva (typically three days in the office and two days from home), so you’ll need to live within commuting distance of the office where your chosen role is based. You’ll get the benefit of spending time with colleagues in real life as well as gaining more work-life balance. Not all role types are available in every location, so when you apply let us know which roles and which locations you prefer.

Pricing (Norwich, London and York): Pricing is where data meets decision-making. You’ll analyse customer risk, market trends, and product performance to help set fair, competitive premiums. Whether you’re supporting new business, renewals, or rate reviews, your work will shape how we grow sustainably and serve customers well. You’ll collaborate with underwriters, analysts, and finance teams, building models and tools that drive smarter pricing strategies. If you’re curious, detail-driven, and comfortable working with data, you’ll thrive here. For London roles, you’ll need a degree in a STEM or numerically-focused degree and you will study towards the IFoA qualification - with full support from us to succeed.

Underwriting (London): Underwriting is all about confident decision-making. You’ll join our Commercial Lines Chief Underwriting Office, helping define strategy, assess risk, and guide how we protect businesses - from small enterprises to global corporations. You’ll work across areas like exposure management, product governance, and reinsurance, gaining broad experience and insight. If you’re inquisitive, analytical, and keen to understand how insurance decisions are made, this is your space. You don’t need a specific degree - just curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a desire to make a real impact.
