    Individually we are people, but together we are Aviva. Individually these are just words, but together they are our Values – Care, Commitment, Community, and Confidence.

    We are looking for a driven, passionate, positive individual to join our National Broker Distribution team.

    The Broker Distribution landscape is changing quickly – and National Brokers are responsible for much of this change. They are growing significantly faster than the market via consolidation and increasingly sophisticated organic growth strategies. This small group of brokers with National reach will become dominant in a few years – and this will challenge all insurers (including Aviva) to adjust all dimensions of their value proposition to these brokers.

    The National Broker team's key mandate is to ensure Aviva responds with clear and aligned strategies across our business – so we can effectively handle the opportunities and risks this evolution in the overall market present.

    The primary purpose of this role is to support and contribute to developing and delivering the strategies and subsequent tactics with respect to National Brokers as a collective, as well as individually.

    This will include developing a deep understanding of specific National Brokers own strategies and supporting the stewardship of these relationships with Aviva. It will influence strategic direction and tactics, conduct business performance analysis (often in conjunction with a counterpart at the Broker) to support execution and delivery of agreed initiatives.

    The core purpose is to deliver on both Aviva and National Broker goals by creating and supervising the conditions whereby each get the best out of each other across the provincial trading network.

    This role supports distribution, underwriting and functional teams – with reach across all Commercial Lines (including our large corporate and specialty commercial division – GCS) and Personal Lines.

    The development and communication of data analysis and insight both internally and externally will be a core requirement and capability. This will help build alignment around strategies and clarity around execution delivery – fostering mutually beneficial growth.
