Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom Aviva Full time

Senior Scheme Underwriting Specialist

We are seeking experienced professionals to join our Commercial Schemes Team, particularly those with a background in Property, Liability, or Motor underwriting. While familiarity with Agriculture, Estates & Care is advantageous, it is not a prerequisite for this role.

Role Overview:

In this capacity, you will be responsible for managing Profit & Loss, Revenue, and Broker Relationships across a range of Schemes. Your expertise in Scheme Management will be essential to fulfill customer needs, drive profitable expansion, maintain Underwriting standards, and ensure adherence to the Delegated Authority Governance Framework.

This position offers flexibility in location, with opportunities available in various cities, and may require occasional travel.

Key Qualifications and Skills:

  • Proven experience in Property, Liability, or Motor underwriting (knowledge of Agriculture, Estates & Care is a plus but not essential)
  • Strong analytical skills to evaluate performance at both Scheme and Portfolio levels, with the ability to collaborate effectively within a large organization
  • High technical proficiency coupled with a genuine interest in the UK Commercial Schemes Strategy
  • Ability to manage complex risks and technical referrals, mentor junior Scheme Underwriters, and deliver impactful presentations to Brokers
  • A commitment to continuous learning and process enhancement through in-depth understanding

What We Offer:

At Aviva, we believe in investing in our employees and providing a comprehensive benefits package that reflects our commitment to 'with you today, for a better tomorrow.'

  • Competitive Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 National, with potential for approximately £60,000 based on location, skills, experience, and qualifications
  • Performance-based bonus potential of 10% of annual salary
  • Generous pension contributions of up to 14% from Aviva
  • 29 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with options to buy or sell up to 5 days
  • Discounts on Aviva products and various retailers
  • Annual allocation of up to £1,200 in free Aviva shares through our Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme
  • Supportive policies including parental and carer's leave
  • Flexible benefits options, including sustainability initiatives like cycle to work
  • Opportunities for community engagement with 3 paid volunteering days through Aviva Communities
  • Comprehensive wellbeing resources and support
