In 50 countries, we work hard to inspire pride and a sense of belonging in our people. To provide opportunities that challenge them, inspire them, and reward them. And to create a culture that’s open, supportive, and empowering. Because we know that’s the real secret to success – and the best way for us to keep building a better world for both our customers and the talented people who put them first.

Your work environment

The headquarters of the AXA Group (GIE AXA) brings together our corporate activities. It provides guidance and support to subsidiaries around the world, to ensure the coordination and monitoring of the Group's global strategy, the application of its standards, the consistency of commercial approaches and the sharing of best practices. The headquarters gathers approximately 1000 employees and is distinguished by its strong international culture (45 nationalities), which makes it a rich and stimulating place to work.

Within the Group, you will join the Group Risk Management department.

Group Risk Management (GRM) is a central and strategic function at AXA Headquarters. One of its main components is GRM P&C, which ensures that P&C risks are appropriately measured, modelled, and monitored. GRM P&C’s main areas of expertise are Reserving, Underwriting, Cat Modelling, and Economic Capital. Thanks to AXA’s geographical footprint, the team works in a very international and highly diverse context.

Cyber insurance is a fastly-growing and evolving Business, on which AXA has the ambition to keep growing in the next years. In order to support the growth and ensure it is done with proper consideration of all the specificities of Cyber insurance compared to more traditional P&C products, AXA has set in place a Cyber Center of Expertise. One of the pillars of this Center of Expertise is the strengthening of Cyber modelling activities. In this context, the P&C Actuary will have a key role to play on the modelling and monitoring of Cyber insurance for the whole AXA Group (International exposure).

The position holder will report to the Head of Actuarial & Man-made.

Main activities

The P&C Actuary will work into a team of 15 people dedicated to Actuarial activities (Cyber modelling, Liability modelling, and Reserving). Their daily activities will imply to work with a large panel of experts all across the Group and in particular at AXA XL: Cyber underwriters, Claims handlers, Cybersecurity experts, Data analysts, Pricing actuaries, etc.

Starting in 2017, AXA has been developing a Cyber Accumulation model, aimed at assessing what could be the most extreme losses at a bicentenary horizon. This model has first been integrated into a Risk Appetite framework (maximum exposure that AXA Board is willing to accept on a given risk), and then has been integrated into the STEC Capital model and validated by ACPR in 2020.

Compared to more traditional P&C risks, Cyber comes with to main difficulties that the P&C Actuary will need to understand and work around:

• There is a lack of historical claims data, mainly due to the fact that this Line of Business is relatively new. Unlike Property, the major events are yet to be seen, which makes uncertain the estimation of a bicentenary event.
• Cyber is a man-made risk, partly created by malicious actors. For this reason, the risk is evolving fast and new threats can occur. Hence, there is a need to review frequently the way it is modelled to ensure that new threats are captured.

These difficulties are the reasons why AXA is willing to invest on R&D activities so that the model is adapted to the risk and kept up-to-date.

To realize their mission, the P&C Actuary will be expected to:

• Learn about the characteristics of AXA Cyber Business in all its Entities (covers granted, typologies of portfolios, etc.)
• Participate to the Cyber process: gather Cyber data coming from all Entities, prepare the data for the modelling, run the R codes, analyze the results, share them to Management, Entities, Ceded Reinsurance, update documentation.
• Collaborate with numerous experts in the Group, both at Headquarters and in Entities. These experts will include Underwriting specialists, Claims handlers, Cybersecurity experts, etc.
• Be proactive in the research and use of Cyber data, either internal data (claims) or external data (market databases, independent institutes, etc.)
• Be able to conduct actuarial analyses, either alone or as part of a team project, on all Cyber related topics, from descriptive analysis to full stochastic modelling.
• Collaborate with academics and market vendors.
• Communicate clearly and regularly to management in order to ensure that deadlines are met and difficulties are identified and solved.
• Present their work to all relevant stakeholders (management, Cyber Center of Expertise, Entities, Ceded Reinsurance, etc.) and be able to justify and explain their results.
• Write clear and precise documentation and follow all the steps of AXA’s Governance on Internal Modelling.

To carry out these missions, the P&C Actuary will be supported with:

• Exposure reporting tool, called Clymene. This reporting tool integrates very granular data on AXA policies and covers, for most of the countries in which it operates, and are the cornerstone of Cyber Modelling.
• Existing Cyber scenarios, that can be refined or used as inspirations to build the new scenarios.
• Strong and diversified expertise on P&C, either on Underwriting, Claims management, or Actuarial science, who will support and bring knowledge to the P&C Actuary in his tasks.

This position is a great opportunity to gain a solid understanding of Cyber business within a leading international Group.

On an ad-hoc basis, the P&C Actuary will also be asked to contribute on some other topics of the team. In particular, the Actuarial team is also responsible for the monitoring of the Group P&C Reserves to ensure that there are adequate to face risks & uncertainties. The P&C Actuary may contribute to this mandate through qualitative or quantitative analyses on the Group P&C Reserves (for instance in relation with specific concerns like Covid, inflation, introduction of IFRS17, etc.), under the leadership of a more senior member of the team.
