As the sixth‑largest insurance company in the world, we provide a wide range of services, including health, car, home, and business insurance. We support millions of customers worldwide, helping them navigate life's uncertainties with confidence.

We’re looking for a detail‑oriented and proactive Financial Planning Analyst to support the AXA Health financial close process and ensure timely delivery of accurate financial reporting. This role is key to coordinating the month‑end closing activities, managing controls, and supporting the production of financial statements and audit deliverables. Supporting the Health PBR Close Manager, you’ll help ensure the smooth execution of our financial close cycle, contributing to operational risk management, internal controls, and Group reporting requirements. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your financial and analytical skills within a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.

• Support the coordination of the AXA Health month‑end close process to meet all Group and local reporting deadlines.
• Track completion of department controls to manage operational risk associated with financial results, ensuring controls are executed accurately and on time.
• Produce and record key accounting data: population (policy volumes), revenue (policy premiums), subsidiary results, and deferred acquisition costs matching commission costs to contract obligations.
• Evidence monthly controls for internal audit purposes, supporting the integrity and compliance of key processes.
• Prepare and deliver monthly reports, including revenue, population, underwriting, commission, and income statements, providing insightful commentary on variances and trends.
• Input local reporting results into the Group consolidation system: Magnitude, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Analyse key performance metrics against budget and prior year, supporting the monthly review meetings.
• Support ad‑hoc analysis, external reporting, and regulatory submissions, including solvency and benchmark data.

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. After your initial office‑based training period of 12 weeks 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.

• Previous experience in finance, FP&A, or accounting support, ideally within insurance or financial services.
• Strong understanding of month‑end closing processes, controls, and financial reporting standards.
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Good analytical skills with the ability to interpret financial data, variances, and trends.
• Proficiency in Excel, with experience in financial systems and reporting tools (e.g., Group consolidation platforms like Magnitude).
• Effective communication skills, capable of explaining complex data clearly to stakeholders.
• A proactive approach, with a focus on continuous process improvement and operational risk management.
