Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Aviva Full time

Senior IT Solutions Designer

At Aviva, we are looking to transform the way in which we engage with our customers, and we are seeking an experienced Senior IT Solutions Designer to work with IT projects to deliver that transformation.

This is a great opportunity for someone who can build end-to-end designs that are fit for purpose from a functional, non-functional, service, and security point of view. Primarily application and integration focused, but with knowledge of the underlying technical infrastructure that supports the solutions.

The post holder will be a key part of a wider global architecture practice and will be passionate about driving, improving, and promoting the process and delivery of architecture (and its value) across the organisation.

The current team are located across our offices in the UK, and we operate a flexible working model, coming in to one of our offices regularly (on average 2.5 days per week).

A bit about the job:

  • Crafting solutions across Aviva's IT applications estate, defining the overall solution architecture and system integrations that meet Aviva's technology standards and our ambitions for availability, security, resilience, and performance.
  • Providing coaching, mentoring, and training to less experienced Solution Architects as required.
  • Providing leadership on key designs to ensure the long-term IT Roadmaps are followed as well as short-term project needs.
  • Performing early triage and shaping of IT initiatives to support investment decisions and initial delivery planning.
  • Ensuring design artefacts are produced to support service, security, architecture, and engineering.

Skills and experience we're looking for:

  • Passionate about technology and how to exploit it for the benefit of our customers.
  • Excellent design and architecture skills and experience of agile delivery methods.
  • Experience in cloud technologies is desirable (esp. Amazon Web Services).
  • Financial acumen to support development of business cases and to inform key design decisions.
  • Deep technical experience - this may be broad with the ability to apply it across a variety of customer and business scenarios, or strong domain specialisms to maximise the benefits of technology in key areas.

What you'll get for this role:

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.

  • National Salary Circa £45,000 (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 - 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.
  • 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.
  • We take your wellbeing seriously with lots of support and tools.
