This role provides a fantastic opportunity for you to build key foundations and shape the narrative, that will provide AXA the exposure and scope required for growth.
It’s an exciting time to join the AXA Commercial team in Leeds and Newcastle, as we undergo significant growth across our branches to support the overall strategic business plan. We're currently looking to strengthen the team and bring to market the opportunity to join us a Property and Casualty Development Underwriter within the Existing Business Team. For this role, you’ll be based from either our office in Leeds or in Newcastle but travel will be required between these offices on a regular basis.
The role encompasses many opportunities to contribute to the development and success of the branch account, not just from a growth and profitability perspective but driving service excellence to our customers. The team ensure close collaboration is supported internally across the teams to be set up for success, as well as engaging and building key relationships with the brokers and panel aligned business developers.
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 and be required to travel to our offices in Leeds and Newcastle.
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.
What you’ll be doing:
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.
Lead and fully embed the large case management process for both new and existing business.
Develop and build collaborative broker relationships, sometimes client, across the Region, taking full ownership for the generation, placement and retention of profitable commercial business from self-sourced.
Underwrite profitable new and existing business, in line with AXA established underwriting controls and practices and act as a referral point in branch.
Develop and maintain a quality distribution strategy and communication plan with key influential brokers to ensure financial KPIs achieved.
Maintain a strong understanding of the performance of regions’ book (COR, Rate, Retention, Hot Spot trades, profit drivers and underwriting circular).
Support other Regions where appropriate aligned to own areas of underwriting/trade segment/industry expertise.
