Job Overview

Are you passionate about sales? If you’re good at building relationships and are resilient, this is a great opportunity. We’re looking for a motivated Sales Consultant to join our SME Intermediary Sales team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. You’ll strengthen partnerships with key intermediaries, sell our core products to the PMI (private medical insurance) and API (Annual Premium Income) markets, and identify opportunities to promote additional products for profitable growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Meet monthly targets for new PMI, SME, and subscriber acquisitions.
• Develop strong, productive relationships with key intermediary partners.
• Promote and cross-sell additional products such as travel, dental, optical, cashback, and other non-PMI offerings.
• Provide exceptional service through effective call handling.
• Understand and achieve sales goals while adhering to our values and core behaviours.
• Maintain thorough knowledge of existing products, including core PMI, non-PMI products, and pricing structures.
• Keep up to date with the use and management of relevant databases and systems.
• Ensure compliance with Financial Conduct Authority regulations and Data Protection Act requirements.

Work Arrangements

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 two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means attending the office, visiting clients or attending industry events.

Your Skills & Experience

• Proactive in managing relationships and maximising every sales opportunity.
• Strong understanding and experience of compliance regulations.
• Demonstrable experience working within business processes and protocols.
• Able to engage effectively with colleagues and external clients face to face, via telephone and virtually.
• Well‑organised, able to manage time effectively and work under pressure when required.
• Experience within a regulated industry is preferred.
• Confident in working towards targets with a goal‑focused approach.
• Proficient in Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

This position has been defined as an Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) role under the IDD regime which means that in addition to pre‑employment screening checks, the successful candidate will be subject to background screening every four years with an annual declaration in interim years.
