Job Description
Here at AXA Health, we’re excited to announce a new opportunity for a Pricing Underwriter to join our dynamic commercial department. In this pivotal role, you’ll leverage your expertise in risk assessment to underwrite large corporate clients, directly supporting our sales colleagues in renewing existing business and engaging with potential new clients. As a Pricing Underwriter, you’ll take charge of pricing and managing a diverse portfolio of large corporate renewals. You'll negotiate terms and monitor portfolio performance while gaining insights into how your contributions impact overall Large Corporate results.

Away from home means either attendance at our office location in Tunbridge Wells, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
You’ll be required in the office for 5 days per week during the initial training period of 8-12 weeks.
What you’ll be doing:
- Price new business and renewals for large corporate group accounts.
- Provide technical pricing support and assist sales account managers and other stakeholders with trend analysis and justification of terms to enhance the negotiation process.
- Engage in diverse projects that may extend beyond the large corporate sector, expanding your expertise and impact.
- Support training initiatives through collaboration with the Underwriting Development Manager to train new team members and assist in the pricing training of sales colleagues.
- Manage and monitor the performance of your portfolio to gain insights into its contribution to overall Large Corporate results.
