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.

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.

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.

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.
