Notice of Cancellation Specialist (Credit Control Administrator)
Ipswich, UK
We invent the new to help the world move forward. Combining powerful analytics and deeper insights with bigger ideas and innovative solutions, we free up our clients’ potential, thereby fulfilling our own
Following implementation of an industry-leading Notice of Cancellation process in September 2022, the operation is now fully embedded and adding significant value on behalf of UK&L Underwriting Teams. The successful candidate will support the Senior Notice of Cancellation Specialist at a critical time as we look to increase scope and further tighten controls on premium collection (holding brokers to contracted terms of trade) whilst demonstrating discretion to support clients where genuine reasons for premium payment delays occur. The NOC operation plays a key role in improving broker service levels and, ultimately, improving revenue into the organisation enabling positive P&L impact and mitigation against aged debt accumulation
You will be based in our newly refurbished Ipswich office; however, we are excited to have implemented our Smart Working initiative offering a hybrid way of working, combining both remote and office working.
Ipswich is an idyllic rural location, with good transport links to London and just 20 minutes from the coast. The AXA XL office is easily accessible, only a 10-minute walk from the train station and has the benefit of free onsite car parking as well as a subsidised staff restaurant - we even give our employees an allowance for lunch! We are a short walk from the picturesque waterfront, an ideal place for a lunchtime stroll with colleagues and there are plenty of good restaurants to choose from for a bite to eat on the way home or perhaps before a trip to the local theatre or cinema. Our office is newly refurbished, it’s modern and bright featuring up to date technologies, and plenty of collaboration areas to meet with colleagues to share ideas and get together.
