If you’re a strategic thinker with a passion for building strong relationships, we want to hear from you!

At AXA-Global Healthcare, we represent insurers and reinsurers, managing their business across the entire value chain from product design and pricing to sales, policy administration, and claims handling. We also oversee the portfolios of insurers to ensure profitability and maintain robust claims and pricing controls. This role will involve managing arrangements that govern (re)insurer delegated authority, including reinsurance treaties, binding underwriting authority agreements, and claims handling agreements. Given that the activities within these arrangements are often regulated across different jurisdictions, experience in insurance and a solid understanding of insurance regulation is essential.

• Conduct regular due diligence and business case reviews to assess ongoing arrangements.
• Monitor the commercial health of (re)insurance partnerships through consistent interaction and performance evaluations.
• Develop and implement new services, products, or operational improvements for (re)insurance partners.
• Act as the primary contact for escalated issues and manage contract renewals and endorsements.
• Support transversal initiatives and drive synergies between (re)insurance partnerships within AGH.

What you’ll bring:

• Strategic partnership management experience.
• Proven experience within a technical (re)insurance environment.
• Business and commercial acumen, ideally including tertiary commercial or business studies.
• Ability to review and negotiate contractual and commercial terms.
• Proven organisational skills, strategic thinking and ability to understand the impact of change.
• Self-directed and motivated, exhibiting a high level of initiative.
• Previous experience working in an international commercial environment would be advantageous.
