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.

Management Presentation

In the context of growing cybersecurity threats and global information risks, regulators require AXA to maintain a solid second line of defense to ensure overall risks are adequately managed and that risk appetite is mastered in that respect. Although protection of information is a shared responsibility of all AXA entities (including all AXA employees, agents, and advisors), GRM has set a specific department to guide and control AXA in this effort. Group Information Risk Management (GIRM) is responsible for leading the enterprise's approach for managing existing and emerging risks associated with the stewardship of AXA information.

The Information Risk Advisory team’s main objective is to ensure that the Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the Chief Risk Officer in every entity has the means to effectively oversee Information Risk and that they can present a second opinion on key decisions.

We achieve this through documented reviews of projects, initiatives, and key risks; through participation to executive committees; by partnering with Technology and Security teams and by advising and training CRO teams.

As our remit covers information risks at group level, we are required to develop and maintain expertise in risk and control about technology, security and data processes. In a typical week we could be working on subjects as diverse as designing risk framework, giving an opinion on Group Security project strategic priorities and providing training to CRO teams on Blockchain.

Main purpose

In that context, the INFORMATION RISK ADVISORY EXPERT oversees a portfolio of “second opinion” reviews on Information risks, independently conducting studies and following-up the remediation actions. He/she will provide an opinion on adherence to the risk & control framework operated by 1st line of defense, both at a Group level or in specific entities as per plan and oversees its effective remediation to reduce the residual risk exposure. 

The team draws on a wide range of expertise thanks to the diversity of its member’s backgrounds. The EXPERT will contribute to this with proven experience in the security domain, and an understanding of risk management. Experiences in Corporate governance, regulatory compliance and project management are beneficial. He/She will provide advice to executive officers and produce professional reports for executive committees and among senior business deciders.

The EXPERT will work closely with the GIRM “Framework & Report” team to improve entities risk management capabilities, to feed our risk models and to build relationships with stakeholders across the Group. He/She acts as a real team player and a role model in AXA values: courage and ONE AXA.

Main activities

Information Risk is the risk that AXA’s information or information systems fail to deliver the expected value to the organization, impacting business objectives or creating unacceptable operational loss. It includes any data systems, networks, and the supporting resources (incl. budget, people, premises, security) that process it.
