Senior Underwriter, New Business - Manchester, United Kingdom - AXA
Description
At AXA Commercial, we focus on supporting our business customers, large and small, by simplifying the way they do business with us according to their preferences. Whether they choose to insure with us through brokers, directly over the phone, or online via comparison sites, we have them covered.
As we continue to grow, a crucial initiative for the future of AXA Commercial involves enhancing our existing teams with knowledgeable, dynamic, and innovative Commercial Underwriters. These positions present an excellent opportunity for individuals to establish essential foundations and influence the direction, ultimately contributing to AXA's visibility and expansion.
We are currently seeking to expand the Manchester commercial team by offering an exciting opportunity to join us as a New Business Senior Underwriter in Property and Casualty.

This role requires significant influence on the Underwriting team, enhancing the ability to collaborate with various stakeholders and advancing the technical and trading capabilities of the branch.
While this role does not involve direct reports, the Senior Underwriter plays a critical part in enhancing and supporting the team's performance.
At AXA, we promote flexibility, enabling our employees to balance their time between home and the office in a manner that suits them, their team, and our clients. You will spend at least 40% of your week away from home, whether at our offices, visiting clients, or attending industry events.
Your Profile
