  • Monitor the overall performance of the book you're responsible for and ensuring remedial action is taken to correct any performance issues.
  • Developing broker relationships to enhance their knowledge of our products and appetite.
  • Take ownership of a specialism within the Financial Lines trade sectors.
  • At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least 60% of your week away from home, either at one of our office locations, visiting Brokers or attending industry events.

    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.
