If you're someone who is proactive, driven, and either has or is working toward a QCF Level 4 qualification, this could be the perfect role for you.

A bit about the job:

As a key member of our Advised Platform Sales team, you'll be the primary point of contact for a panel of advisory firms.

You'll primarily work over the phone and on Teams, with the occasional face-to-face visit, collaborating with our Platform Adoption, Distribution, and Investment teams to ensure great outcomes. Your work will directly impact the growth of both Aviva and the firms you partner with.

  • Proven ability to build relationships and use a consultative approach to sales
  • Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills
  • Strong planning and organizational skills
  • A clear understanding of business and commercial principles
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.
  • Starting salary circa £55,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
  • Bonus opportunity - 8% (C grade) 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
  • 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
