Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom Aviva Full time
Senior Scheme Underwriting Specialist

This position is an excellent opportunity for individuals eager to become part of our Commercial Schemes Team, particularly those with experience in Property, Liability, or Motor underwriting. Experience in Agriculture, Estates, and Care is beneficial but not mandatory for this role.

Due to expansion and operational adjustments within UK Commercial Schemes, we are looking to fill two Senior Scheme Underwriting Specialist roles within our team.

Overview of the Role:

As a Senior Scheme Underwriting Specialist, you will oversee the Profit & Loss, Revenue, and Broker Relationships for a selection of Schemes. You will need to showcase your expertise in Scheme Management to fulfill customer needs, drive profitable growth while upholding Underwriting integrity consistently, and ensure compliance with the Delegated Authority Governance Framework.

This role offers flexibility in location, with options to work from various sites, but will require travel to key locations multiple times a week.

Desired Skills and Experience:
  • Experience in Property, Liability, or Motor underwriting (knowledge in Agriculture, Estates, and Care is a plus but not essential)
  • Capability to analyze performance at both Scheme and Portfolio levels and collaborate effectively within a large, intricate organization
  • Strong technical skills and a desire to develop a comprehensive understanding of the UK Commercial Schemes Strategy
  • Aptitude for managing complex risks and technical referrals, mentoring less experienced Scheme Underwriters in finding optimal solutions and presenting effectively to Brokers
  • A passion for learning, characterized by curiosity, open-mindedness, and a commitment to continuous improvement
Benefits of Joining Us:

Our mission - partnering with you today for a brighter tomorrow - extends to our colleagues as well. We are dedicated to investing in your growth and development. Here’s what we offer:
  • Competitive salary range between £45,000 and £55,000 for National locations and approximately £60,000 for London (based on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
  • Bonus potential - 10% of annual salary, contingent on your performance and the company's results.
  • Generous pension scheme - Aviva contributes up to 14%, depending on your contributions.
  • 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 additional days
  • Significant discounts of up to 40% on Aviva products and other retailer offers
  • Opportunity to receive up to £1,200 in free Aviva shares annually through our Matching Share Plan and participate in our Save As You Earn scheme
  • Supportive policies, including parental and carer's leave
  • Flexible benefits tailored to your needs, including sustainability options like cycle to work
  • Engage in meaningful work through Aviva Communities and utilize your 3 paid volunteering days to assist others
  • Commitment to your wellbeing with a variety of support and resources
