    What we're looking for:

    Keep an open mind:

    Keen to learn and challenge the status quo, able to approach tasks from different perspectives while focusing on helping colleagues and customers.


    Stay curious:

    You'll be perceptive of what our customers and the market wants and bring that knowledge into your work, whilst making the most of AXA's development opportunities.


    Be a team player:

    Able to use your unique skills and knowledge to collaborate with your colleagues, take accountability and discover new ways of doing things.

    Cert CII qualification with DIP CII desirable. (we also support gaining qualifications).

    High level of technical underwriting expertise. You'll possess a strong trading capability, commercial awareness and expert negotiation skills.

    Ability to build strong broker relationships and a sound understanding of the current commercial insurance market.

    Sound knowledge of legislative and regulatory requirements for insurance, including treating customers fairly.

    Developed analytical skills with proven experience of account monitoring and action planning.

    You'll be pragmatic and a confident decision maker, with meticulous numerical reasoning skills.
