What’s in it for you:
We’ll equip you with the technical skills for tomorrow: It’s our job to support you in becoming an expert who has ownership over their work. We want you to be confident that you can make an impact by helping our customers. We ask ourselves what we can do today that will help us in the future. That’s why we offer continuous development to help our colleagues become experts in tomorrow.
Build a career that’s as dynamic as the market you work in: We’re on a journey of transformation, so we’re investing in new technology that enables us to help our people and businesses thrive.
Shape your career one decision at a time: We’ll support you to progress through the business and are committed to developing talent. We do this with training and tailored development plans.

Drive profitable growth, through Mid-Market and corporate clients, by underwriting risks within agreed authority levels to maximise income whilst developing key relationships with brokers in line with company objectives.
Effectively promote and deploy AXA’s strategy, product, propositions and key differentiators in order to leverage new business and renewal opportunities.
Act as the face of AXA in presenting propositions for larger MM and MC risks, based on industry knowledge and technical underwriting expertise, subject to the scale and complexity of the case.
Work with Trading Underwriters to negotiate coverage, wordings and pricing that differentiate AXA to meet customer needs.
Proactively develop a robust pipeline of Mid-Market and Mid-Corporate qualified growth opportunities leveraging both client and broker relationships, ensuring pipeline is effectively managed and realised.
