Salary from £75,000 + bonus + excellent benefits

Build Aviva’s view of enterprise AI delivery

Aviva's Chief AI Office sits at the centre of an enterprise-wide transformation spanning markets, functions and customer journeys. It connects strategy with delivery, adoption and governance, helping the business apply AI faster, more safely and with clearer evidence of value. You'll join while the function is taking shape, helping establish how Aviva moves from individual AI opportunities to responsible, measurable change at scale.

The Agentic Control Tower Product Owner will bring AI delivery, risk and performance information into one trusted enterprise view. You'll take founding ownership of this AI platform product, setting its vision, roadmap and value outcomes so senior leaders, AI product owners and Risk and Audit teams can make better-informed decisions.

A bit about the job:

Stepping into a pivotal enterprise product leadership role, you'll own the platform strategy and drive high-level stakeholder engagement across Aviva's C-suite, Risk, Audit and AI product teams. Operating within the COO domain and reporting to the Chief AI Officer (CAIO), you'll maximize the enterprise value of our cutting-edge Agentic Control Tower, a transformative platform providing real-time portfolio visibility. By harnessing autonomous AI agents to synthesize enterprise-wide data, you'll empower leaders with actionable insights, championing scalable platform adoption, operational efficiencies and transparent, high-impact AI delivery that shapes the future of how Aviva works.

You'll be responsible for:

• Owning and communicating the product vision, roadmap, target outcomes and measures of success
• Setting priorities and managing the backlog across user value, delivery effort, risk and platform health
• Turning the needs of executives, delivery teams and Risk and Audit colleagues into clear product outcomes and requirements
• Partnering with engineering and architecture while retaining ownership of product priorities and acceptance
• Leading onboarding, adoption and continuous improvement, using evidence and feedback to increase value
• Shaping investment choices and tracking product performance, cost and benefits.

Skills and experience we're looking for

You'll bring experience in many of these areas:

• Significant product management or product ownership experience for a complex digital, data or enterprise platform
• A strong track record of defining roadmaps, managing complex backlogs and delivering value across several teams
• Sound commercial and analytical judgement, including investment choices, product measures and value tracking
• The credibility to influence senior business, technology, Risk and Audit stakeholders without relying on formal authority
• Experience balancing user outcomes, delivery pace, risk and long-term platform health
• AI, automation, governance, assurance or regulated-sector experience would be useful, but deep engineering expertise is not essential.

Why Aviva?

AI is already making a difference across Aviva through areas such as claims summarisation, medical underwriting, customer service and fraud detection. The Chief AI Office is creating a reliable enterprise view of the investment, delivery, benefits, dependencies and risk behind that activity.

Across a business serving more than 25 million customers globally, your analysis will help leaders prioritise attention, test confidence in benefits and intervene where delivery, dependencies or evidence are off track.
