Do you have an interest in risk management? If you’re customer oriented with strong ambassadorial skills, this could be a great opportunity for you. We’re seeking a Senior Business Resilience Manager to support and influence AXA Commercial in the delivery of a profitable underwriting result to generate positive customer engagement.

In addition, you’ll provide technical guidance and support to internal underwriters and external customers as requested in respect of survey and non-survey casework.

You'll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025.

* Prepare a schedule of risk improvement measures for onward transmission by the underwriter, to the client or broker, including appropriate timescale for completion.
* Provide training for new BRM’s and branch underwriters.
* Represent AXA at risk-based committees, forums and groups.
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.
What you’ll bring:
