We have a great opportunity to join a team of 23 Unit Pricing Analysts where full support and training will be given, even if you do not have the required experience - if you have an interest in the Financial Sector and have the right attitude and drive, then we would like to speak to you!

Aviva Finance Operations aims to be a trusted, innovative provider of excellent services delivered in the simplest way. The unit pricing team is a vital function within AFO which is responsible for the daily valuation of c£150bn of investments held in c2,500 Unit Linked funds, ensuring that c15,000 unit prices are accurately calculated and distributed to policy administration systems and investment platforms to high quality and timeliness standards.

Working at Aviva

At Aviva, we’re people with a purpose. To be with you today, for a better tomorrow.

We bring this to life by ensuring managing risk is at the heart of the way we all work. We love people who do the right thing for our customers, and our colleagues. We want people who speak up, who take responsibility, and who make good decisions.

The way we do this is important too. We’re all about our people – that’s you – so we can be pretty flexible. If you want to work from home some of the time or change your hours so you can pick up your kids or care for someone in your family, we’re very open to that. In fact, we don’t advertise roles as either part or full time, because we know each person has different needs, just as each business area has different needs. So, it’s up to you to discuss working hours during your interview.

We care deeply about being inclusive and that means we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees to bring their whole self to work and that starts with you.

We interview every disabled applicant* that meets the minimum criteria for the job. Once you’ve applied, please send us a separate email stating that you have a disclosed disability and we’ll make sure we interview you.

We’d love it if you could submit your application online. If you require an alternative method of applying, please give Daniela Krol a call on 0121 234 7660 or send an email to daniela.krol@aviva.com 

*As defined in The Equality Act 2010*. By ‘minimum criteria’ we mean you should provide us with evidence which demonstrates that you generally meet the level of competence required and have the qualifications, skills or experience defined as essential to perform the role.
