We have a fantastic opportunity for a tenacious Credit Risk Manager to join our group Credit Risk team that sits within Group Financial and Sustainability Risk. This is a great job for an experienced Credit Risk Manager with a genuine interest in the economy seeking to work with likeminded people in the UK’s leading Insurance, Retirement and Wealth business!

A bit about the job:

Credit risk is one of the largest risks Aviva faces. Managing this risk is a key part of our strategy to protect our customers and plays a vital role in helping Aviva grow in a safe and sustainable manner. We do this by ensuring we are within the credit risk appetite of the Board Risk Committee (e.g. through setting credit limits), helping businesses in getting the right return from the risk being taken (e.g. through asset class analysis) and helping the business make better decisions (e.g. helping create reinsurance contracts that mitigate credit risk in stress).

Additionally, you will:

• Support quality, pro-active analysis of Aviva’s Credit position, including development of the Credit Limit Framework and the credit data systems (currently Clearwater and Qlik)
• Support the effective & timely delivery of financial & non-financial information for internal and external publication purposes, related to Credit Risk, for both regular reporting and during times of financial stress
• Assist with the production of counterparty and exposure risk assessments, including for reinsurers/reinsurance
• Participate in the response to events, covering both idiosyncratic events (where only one credit counterparty is involved) or systemic credit risk events that affect one or more market sectors

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Experience in building models/coding is strongly preferred
• Knowledge of a range of investment markets and asset classes, their key risk and return drivers and their application to insurance company investment strategy and asset-liability management
• Brings sound judgement to facts/data, with strong analytic, interpretative, and modelling skills with a meticulous mindset and strong attention to detail
• Able to manage workload & relationships in a flexible, dynamic and proactive manner
• Ability to prioritise and plan activities in the face of conflicting demands

What you’ll get for this role:

• National salary circa £70,000, London salary circa £80,000 (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
• Bonus opportunity - 10% 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
