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.

At Aviva Canada, we put people first, our employees, our customers, and our communities. We’re proud of a culture built on care, inclusion, and collaboration, where your voice matters and your growth is supported. We’re not just about insurance; we’re about making a real difference by protecting what matters most.

The Opportunity

Join Aviva's Surety team and play a key role in supporting the growth and success of our Contract Surety business in the Western Canada.

We are looking for talented underwriting professionals at various stages of their careers, from those looking to build their expertise in Surety to experienced Contract Surety Underwriters ready to take the next step. The level of the role, responsibilities, and accountabilities will be aligned to your experience and expertise.

In this role, you will partner with contractors and broker partners to assess opportunities, manage risk, and build strong, long-term relationships that support profitable growth. You will be responsible for the application and execution of Contract Surety underwriting policies, guidelines, and best practices across your portfolio, while delivering exceptional service to clients and brokers.

As a trusted advisor, you will help strengthen and expand Aviva's Surety presence by managing a portfolio of contractor accounts, collaborating with accredited brokers, and contributing to strategic business initiatives.

Through ongoing relationship management and market engagement, you will help position Aviva as a trusted surety partner.

Customer & Broker experience: Deliver exceptional service and responsive support to brokers, clients, and internal partners. By providing timely solutions, clear communication, and strong technical expertise, you will help create a seamless experience that strengthens relationships and reinforces Aviva's reputation for service excellence.

Collaboration & Team contribution: Be an active and valued member of a collaborative, high-performing team. Share your expertise, mentor and support colleagues when needed, and contribute to a positive team culture.
