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.

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. AXA is happy to support you in obtaining the FIT / Cert / Dip CII qualification.

**About you**:
**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.
- Exposure and experience of delivering a great customer experience.
- Experience of working to targets.
- Attention to detail.
- Self-motivated and proactive.
- Experience of working in a Financial Services environment is preferred but not essential.

As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.

At AXA UK, we’re appreciative of the people who work for us and our rewards package is reviewed regularly to reflect that. You can expect to receive:

- Competitive annual salary
- Annual company & performance-based bonus
- Contributory pension scheme (up to 12% employer contributions)
