To enable this, we need to ensure we capture consistently high quality, actionable data relating to our clients in our source systems, to power analysis and decision-making across all our key business functions (e.g., risk, underwriting, pricing, actuarial, finance, claims, operations, etc.)

The Data Quality & Culture team within the Innovation, Data & Analytics (IDA) division is focused on driving the data quality strategy at AXA XL through 3 work streams: Train, Heal & Prevent.

  • 'Prevent' - working with Operations and IT teams, to implement "data quality by design" across various source systems & processes, to prevent manual data quality errors from occurring in the first place (e.g., working with IT to replace an optional free text field, with a mandatory drop-down list of choices on Genius - a core policy administration system).
This role will be focused primarily on the 'Prevent' work stream.

The ideal candidate will have several years of experience working in commercial insurance with direct experience of AXA XL's insurance administration systems (e.g., Genius, Frame, Wins, XLGC, etc.), demonstrating strong knowledge of commercial insurance processes across multiple functions (e.g., Underwriting, Claims, Operations, Finance) including how data flows from one department to another, ideally with a network of contacts across these multiple business functions.

  • Storytelling & presentation skills - you must be a strong communicator, able to host meetings with impactful PowerPoint presentations, developing compelling business cases that secure stakeholder buy-in, and clear project plans to drive and successfully deliver change.
