Duration: 6 Months
This is a great opportunity for someone who is an experienced Senior Project Manager with a strong track record delivering change across Insurance Finance, Investments, or Asset Management environments.
A bit about the job:
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Finance Project Manager to lead end-to-end delivery of strategic change initiatives within Aviva’s IWR Finance function. Working as part of a wider programme, you’ll partner closely with business owners, workstream leads, and senior stakeholders across Actuarial, Finance, Investments, Investment Operations, and Asset Management teams to successfully deliver a portfolio of asset onboarding initiatives through implementation and closure.
You’ll take ownership of detailed delivery planning, governance, RAID management, stakeholder engagement, reporting, and controls to ensure initiatives are delivered on time, within budget, and to agreed quality standards.
A key focus of the role will be supporting the onboarding of new assets and embedding cross-functional processes and operating practices that will help shape the future Finance and Investments operating model.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
