Your focus is to establish influential relationships internally and externally and to act as the critical interface between the broker and clients and the company. You are expected to continuously contribute to improving current working and underwriting practices.

Business Development & Risk Assessment – Acquire new business and manage renewals with approved brokers; conduct technical risk assessments, pricing analysis, and deal structuring for sophisticated general contractors
Underwriting Excellence – Apply skillful, decisive underwriting judgment to evaluate applications, terms, loss history, and financial statements; determine risk degree based on company guidelines and underwriting authority
Creative Risk Solutions – Design innovative risk transfer solutions tailored to unique customer needs while protecting AXA XL's profitability and maintaining portfolio performance
Cross-Functional Collaboration – Coordinate seamlessly with Risk Engineering, Actuarial, Claims, Reinsurance, Accounting, and other internal teams to support underwriting decisions and drive product density
Relationship Management – Establish and nurture robust relationships internally and externally, serving as the critical interface between brokers, clients, and the company
Continuous Improvement – Contribute to enhancing underwriting practices and industry leadership in construction technology and sustainability

You will report to the Chief Underwriting Office, Large Commercial- Canada.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who has these abilities and skills:

College degree or equivalent experience.
Moderate Construction underwriting experience (SDI, Property, Casualty or Surety) or brokerage equivalent.
Experience with Large Loss Sensitive programs and/or Loss Prevention is a plus.
Robust analytical and problem-solving skills as well as strong sales and marketing abilities.
Ability to effectively communicate and negotiate with senior personnel, brokers and clients.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are required. Effective computer skills (MS Office) are critical for the success of this position.
This position requires willingness for flexible work hours and travel up to 20% of the time.

Who we are

AXA XL, the P&C and specialty risk division of AXA, is known for solving complex risks. For mid-sized companies, multinationals and even some inspirational individuals we don’t just provide re/insurance, we reinvent it.

How? By combining a comprehensive and efficient capital platform, data-driven insights, leading technology, and the best talent in an agile and inclusive workspace, empowered to deliver top client service across all our lines of business − property, casualty, professional, financial lines and specialty.

With an innovative and flexible approach to risk solutions, we partner with those who move the world forward.

Our 2023-26 Sustainability strategy, called “Roots of resilience”, focuses on protecting natural ecosystems, addressing climate change, and embedding sustainable practices across our operations.

Our Pillars

Valuing nature: How we impact nature affects how nature impacts us. Resilient ecosystems - the foundation of a sustainable planet and society – are essential to our future. We’re committed to protecting and restoring nature – from mangrove forests to the bees in our backyard – by increasing biodiversity awareness and inspiring clients and colleagues to put nature at the heart of their plans.
Addressing climate change: The effects of a changing climate are far-reaching and significant. Unpredictable weather, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels cause both social inequalities and environmental disruption. We're building a net zero strategy, developing insurance products and services, and mobilizing to advance thought leadership and investment in societal-led solutions.
Integrating ESG: All companies have a role to play in building a more resilient future. Incorporating ESG considerations into our internal processes and practices builds resilience from the roots of our business. We’re training our colleagues, engaging our external partners, and evolving our sustainability governance and reporting.
AXA Hearts in Action: We have established volunteering and charitable giving programs to help colleagues support causes that matter most to them, known as AXA XL’s “Hearts in Action” programs. These include our Matching Gifts program, Volunteering Leave, and our annual volunteering day – the Global Day of Giving.

The Canada base salary range for this position is CAD (122,000 to 171,000). Actual pay will be determined based upon the individual’s skills, experience and location. We strive for market alignment and internal equity with our colleagues’ pay.

At AXA XL, we know how important physical, mental, and financial health are to our employees, which is why we are proud to offer benefits such as a competitive retirement savings plan, health and wellness programs, and many other benefits. We also believe in fostering our colleagues' development and offer a wide range of learning opportunities for colleagues to hone their professional skills and to position themselves for the next step of their careers.
