• Risk Consulting services to clients as part of the payer to partner strategy (Risk Consulting value proposition & offers, development of a stream of earnings from Risk Consulting services to clients).

AXA XL’s culture of profitable growth is at the core of our underwriting ethos, and the primary driver of both strategic and day-to-day decisions. As an extensive global business, we take pride in teamwork, underwriting excellence, discipline, and the implementation of consistent underwriting and risk consulting standards and practices. We aim to consistently outperform the competition and attract the best talent by being the employer of choice in the markets we operate in.

• Helping the Underwriting team to enhance their risk knowledge, select profitable clients and reduce losses.
• Sharing your knowledge and expertise with colleagues who are interested in learning about Energy and Powergen.
• Working with our local claims team helping them to better understand the losses we incur.

Your in-depth industry knowledge is key for this support. You will report to the Risk Consulting Head of UK with a dotted line to the Risk Consulting Energy Leader.
