Build the future of specialty insurance
We’re building a new specialty insurance business in the United States, creating opportunities for talented professionals to help shape our future from the start. Drawing on expertise from across Aviva and the London insurance market, we’re growing a business that combines specialist underwriting expertise, strong market relationships and modern technology.
The US business represents an important part of Aviva's aim to become a leading global specialty insurer. We’re creating roles across underwriting, claims, actuarial, data, AI engineering, technology and a range of supporting areas as we expand our presence in the US market.
By establishing a presence here, we’re expanding our access to the world's largest commercial insurance market, to serve clients and brokers closer to where they operate.

As we grow, so will the opportunities to take on new challenges and make an impact.
