You will report directly to the Head of EMEA Institutional and be part of the Global Distribution team that spans UK, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. You will lead a team of consultant relations directors, working collaboratively with business development and client relationship directors within the EMEA Distribution team - and leverage the broader resources of Aviva Investors including Investments, Sustainable Investing, RFP and Market Intelligence - to develop strategic partnerships with consultants. Within this role, the successful candidate will need to proactively develop new relationships and deepen existing relationships with global consultants to achieve commercial objectives. You will strategically monitor progress with consultants and work collaboratively with the global institutional business development and client relations teams to commercialise our buy ratings, ensure growth in pipeline and conversion ratios. The role itself allows you to be the voice of our clients at Aviva Investors and provide market feedback to colleagues that will contribute to the continual enhancement of our products and our business. Skills and experience we're looking for:

• Experience of successfully defining and delivering a global consultant relations strategy
• Excellent practical knowledge and understanding of regulatory requirements with a consistent record of practical compliance.
• A strong network of established relationships with consultants with a track record of successful engagement.
• An astute manager who can manage, motivate, and develop staff
• Relevant postgraduate qualifications e.g. CFA, CAIA, Masters in Finance, MBA.
What you'll get for this role:
• Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in
• Eligibility for annual performance bonus

• Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme
• 21 volunteering hours per year
In this role, you'll be 'Certified' under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we'll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we'll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain 'fit and proper' and competent to carry out your role. We'll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter. Aviva is for everyone: We are inclusive and welcome everyone - we want applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Excited but not sure you tick every box? Research tells us that women, particularly, feel this way. So, regardless of gender, why not apply. And if you're in a job share just apply as a pair. We flex locations, hours, and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you. Most of our people are smart working - spending around 60% of their time in our offices and 40% at home. We interview every disabled applicant who meets the minimum criteria for the job. Once you've applied, please send us an email stating that you have a disclosed disability, and we'll interview you. We'd love it if you could submit your application online. If you require an alternative method of applying, send an email to .
