Be at the heart of one of the most daring and sophisticated transformations we’ve ever tackled. Our Insurance, Wealth and Retirement business is looking for a Head of Transformation Planning & Readiness to coordinate our significant portfolio of initiatives, ensuring they are scheduled in a safe and efficient manner and land well when implemented.

This is a great job for someone to use their experience, determination, and gravitas to understand and guide an extremely complicated delivery plan. If you are an expert in this field, we’d love to hear from you

This schedule will be informed by dependencies, inflight & planned change initiatives, release management, operational capacity to support and absorb change, third party delivery plans, regulatory commitments, and other corporate initiatives.

You will also:

- Set out planning standards across our business. Assure that actual delivery is in line with the agreed schedule and act where divergence occurs
- Enhance and maintain our business readiness mechanisms
- Build on and enhance how we engage and plan for Subject Matter Expert (SME) engagement into our initiatives
- Ensure we have a quarterly process to stand back and see if our agenda is still achievable
- Articulate plans and roadmaps in a way that is simple, insightful and executive friendly

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

- A planning and scheduling expert, someone who has done this before and is familiar with industry standard methodology
- A pragmatist that also recognises the strong discipline that is required across a complicated and interrelated portfolio
- Successful delivery of change in a sophisticated business environment
- Exceptional partner management skills coupled with senior level influencing, relationship management and troubleshooting
- Proven strong commercial awareness and analytical skills

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.
- London salary Circa £140,000 and National salary Circa £120,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
- Bonus opportunity - 25% of annual salary Actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s.
- Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in.
- 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days
