Ipswich, United Kingdom AXA Group 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 the development of how we partner with our broker network. Did you know our broker partners awarded us Gold Investor in Customer (IIC) status for the service we provide? 

What you’ll be doing: As Business Development Manager in our Ipswich branch, you’ll build meaningful relationships with a designated panel of key brokers. You’ll take ownership for generating profitable business. You’ll develop and maintain a pipeline of new business opportunities. You’ll plan, forecast and set operational targets, supporting us to achieve AXA Commercial’s strategic development plan. 

What’s in it for you:

A career that’s as dynamic as the market you work in:  You’re perceptive of what our customers and the market wants and can bring that into your work. You’ll take a proactive approach to relationship management, knowing your brokers as well as they know their own businesses. Shape your career one decision at a time:  We’re committed to developing talent. We do this with training, mentoring and tailored personal development plans.

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 40% of your week away from home, either at our Ipswich office, visiting brokers or attending industry events. Your brokers are based in East Anglia. Occasional travel to London.

Due to the number of applications we expect to receive for this role, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the listed closing date to ensure we’re able to effectively manage interest. Therefore, if you’re interested in joining us at AXA, please don’t hesitate to apply.
