AXA Health - Technical Monitoring Lead F/H

Overview

AXA seeks to establish Health as a cornerstone of its equity story and global business positioning. AXA Health was created in 2023 as a new global business unit, with a strategy around three pillars. The first pillar—“Specialize”—aims to transform the business and upskill technical expertise in Claims, Underwriting, and Pricing, leveraging data and AI.

The role ensures robust monitoring of Gross Written Premium (GWP) and earnings trajectories, identifies key technical drivers (including medical inflation, pricing, and claims initiatives), and anticipates risks and opportunities to support informed decision-making by senior management.
