This is a great job for someone who is passionate about investments and wants to develop their career within a leading asset owner.

Whether you're already working in an investment analyst role or looking to build on your investment reporting, governance, or performance analysis experience, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your technical expertise while helping deliver strong customer outcomes. We're looking for someone with strong analytical skills, a genuine interest in financial markets, and the ability to turn complex investment data into meaningful insights.

A bit about the job:

You'll be joining a dynamic Customer Investments team responsible for delivering strong financial outcomes for millions of customers. As an Investment Analyst, you'll support investment oversight and governance activities by producing insightful management information, analysing investment performance, and helping senior stakeholders make informed investment decisions.

Working closely with external asset managers, investment specialists, and colleagues across Aviva's Chief Investment Office and Wealth business, you'll contribute to investment due diligence, ESG and climate risk monitoring, regulatory reporting, and strategic projects. You'll also help enhance reporting capabilities through automation, dashboard development, and the use of emerging technologies including AI, ensuring our investment oversight remains efficient, scalable, and forward-looking.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

Experience in an investment-related role, with an understanding of investment performance, investment strategy, and a range of asset classes
Strong analytical and numerical skills, with a good understanding of financial mathematics and investment principles
Advanced Excel skills and experience using reporting, automation, or data analysis tools; exposure to Python, R, VBA, or GenAI tools would be advantageous
Relevant degree or progress towards an investment qualification such as the CFA, Investment Management Certificate (IMC), or similar is beneficial but not essential
Strong organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple deliverables and work effectively with a variety of stakeholders

Our purpose - with you today, for a better tomorrow – is a promise we make to our colleagues too. And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you. We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.

Starting salary between c. £35,000 and c. £44,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
Bonus opportunity - 8% of annual salary, (actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s.)
Generous pension scheme - e.g. if you put in 8%, Aviva adds 14%
29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days
Aviva-funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it
Make your money go further - Up to 40% discount on Aviva products, and other retailer discounts
Up to £1,200 of free Aviva shares per year through our Matching Share Plan and share in the success of Aviva with our Save As You Earn scheme
Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer’s leave
Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work
Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others
