Aviva creates 50 new jobs in Galway

The new roles which will be filled before year end will be in the Contact Centre, the Claims Handling Team and in the insurer’s new digital hub.

The company already has 300 employees at its offices in Knocknacarra – this announcement will bring to 85 the number of new roles created in 2016.

Michelle White, Chief Operating Officer for Aviva General Insurance said: “Our general insurance business is growing steadily and we need more people in our Galway Centre to serve our expanding customer base.

“So far this year, we’ve taken on 35 new employees and the additional 50 roles we are announcing today will help us build on the excellent customer service we are providing out of Galway.

“In addition, we are developing our digital hub in Knocknacarra as we seek to become the easiest insurer for our customers to do business with.”

Ten of the new positions will be for digital developers who will work on the company’s website and on developing mobile applications for customers. The Digital Hub is based in a new workspace in the Knocknacarra building.
