AXA XL Energy is looking for an assistant underwriter to take on a key role within the London team. The role will include both administrative and underwriting tasks as well as broker and client facing meetings. You will be part of a team responsible for a broad portfolio of onshore energy risks, including downstream and midstream sectors alongside power generation, renewables and transmission and distribution. Prior experience in an underwriting role is essential, however, energy-specific experience is not.
The portfolio has a solid foothold in the conventional oil and gas and power generation markets; it is also pivoting in line with the Energy Transition and has a growing segment dedicated to technologies contributing towards a carbon net zero future. This includes more established clean technologies such as onshore wind, solar and nuclear sectors as well as emerging technologies such as carbon capture, hydrogen, and sustainable fuels. Key to the role will be the ability to navigate this fast-moving space whilst maintaining underwriting discipline and taking calculated risks.
Onshore Energy forms part of the wider London Energy team, which also includes Exploration and Production, Offshore Wind and Energy Liability.
This is a regulated role under the Central Bank of Ireland’s Fitness and Probity regime.
