Manchester, United Kingdom AXA UK Full time

At AXA Commercial, we support our business customers, large and small, by making it easy for them to do business with us in the way that suits them.

Whether they insure with us via brokers, directly on the phone or online through comparison sites, we've got them covered.

Building on our success, a key initiative for the future of AXA Commercial is enhancing our current teams with experienced, engaging, and forward-thinking Commercial Underwriters.

These roles provide a fantastic opportunity for you to build key foundations and shape the narrative, that will provide AXA the exposure and scope required for growth.


As Commercial Underwriter you'll help drive and transform how we partner our broker portfolios, through responsive, flexible, and collaborative relationships.

With a strong balance of technical and trading capability, you'll be empowered to make decisions, supported by data, insight, and decision support tools on mobile technology to succeed.

You'll be focused on developing and delivering profitable growth, across new business within the key markets.


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.

After an initial training period in the office, you'll work at least 60% of your week away from home, either at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events.

Our main office is based in Bolton – we would however consider applications from across the UK – in this case, there would be a requirement to travel to Bolton at least once per month.

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.

We'll support you to progress through the business and are committed to developing talent. We do this with training and tailored development plans.


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


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


Proven experience in decision making on a wide range of technical underwriting scenarios within a Commercial environment, with specific P&C focus.

Strong level of technical underwriting expertise in a composite insurance environment.


This position has been defined as an Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) role under the IDD regime which means that in addition to pre-employment screening checks, the successful candidate will be subject to background screening every 4 years with an annual declaration in interim years.

Competitive annual salary dependent on experience

Annual company & performance-based bonus

Contributory pension scheme (up to 12% employer contributions)

Life Assurance (up to 10 x annual salary)

25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays

Opportunity to buy up to 5 extra days leave or sell up to 5 days leave
