Job Description
Strategy and Transformation Lead
Salary circa £80,000
We are looking for a curious, innovative, self-starter, analytical and forward-thinking Strategy and Transformation Lead, to join the Data team in Customer & Marketing. Working alongside a range of different stakeholders including data product owners, CIO, Business SMEs and other transformation colleagues, you will help us deliver our organisations data ambition.
This is a great role for someone with strong relationship management skills, and able to establish effective working relationships across a broad stakeholder group. We are looking for someone with experience of delivering complex change, financial acumen, commercial awareness, and analytical skills.
A bit about the job:
You will work closely with product owners and change teams to ensure the successful delivery of data initiatives within our portfolio. This involves developing and executing a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the key milestones, deliverables, and resource requirements for each project. We focus on building clear and engaging artefacts that communicate the value and progress of our work to senior business audiences, ensuring that they understand the benefits and strategic importance of our initiatives.
To maintain high standards and ensure consistent progress, you will help us establish strong governance practices across all change activities. This includes regular reviews with senior management to assess progress, identify risks, and evaluate milestones. You ensure that our programs remain aligned with the guardrails set by the Aviva change frameworks, ensuring that all activities adhere to the company's strategic goals and regulatory requirements. Additionally, we foster a culture of continuous improvement by leveraging feedback and lessons learned to refine our processes and outcomes.
Our approach emphasises collaboration across diverse teams to design and implement solutions, ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged and informed throughout the project lifecycle. Clear communication channels are maintained to facilitate ongoing dialogue and alignment, ensuring that everyone involved is well-informed and aligned with our goals.
As a small team, you will also get involved in the day-to-day operations of the team to develop insights across the portfolio and be a key point of contact with the Data Portfolio team.

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.

We flex locations, hours and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you. Most of our people are smart working -spending around 50% of their time in our offices every week - combining the benefits of flexibility, with time together with colleagues.
