Precondition of Employment

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

Job Overview

Speciality is a rapidly expanding area within Delegated Authority Partnerships as AXA look to diversify our risk portfolio and expand our exposure beyond weather‑related products.
