As our Group Metadata Manager, you’ll be a vital part of defining the roadmap, adoption and ongoing development of the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, helping colleagues make better use of trusted, accessible and governed data.
Working closely with stakeholders across data, technology, risk and business teams, you’ll turn requirements into practical solutions that support Aviva’s data strategy. You’ll drive platform improvements, influence best practice and help build a strong metadata management capability that delivers real value across the organisation.

Proven product management or product ownership experience with a strong track record of managing product roadmaps, prioritising backlogs, demands, defining requirements, managing comms/releases and delivering business value in an Agile environment
Strong understanding of database concepts, data architecture, data products, data pipeline and data engineering practices, with ability to engage effectively and credibly with DBAs, Data Engineers, Architects, and Platform teams to understand data structures, metadata, lineage, integrations, and data flows across a hybrid enterprise landscape
Exceptional communication, facilitation, and presentation skills, with proven experience engaging senior stakeholders, leading governance forums and working groups, and producing concise, visually compelling executive‑level materials that drive informed decision‑making and action
Our purpose - with you today, for a better tomorrow – is a promise we make to our colleagues too.
And one of the ways we live up to that promise is by investing in you. We have so much to offer when it comes to being an Aviva colleague.
