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.

Group Investment and Asset-Liability Management (“GIA”) is the central team of AXA in charge of investments as well as the management of assets and liabilities. The team works in close collaboration with AXA’s worldwide investment teams and top-tier investment managers including AXA IM to deploy capital across various asset classes. 

Overseeing over €600bn of Assets Under Management (“AuM”), GIA is composed of seasoned investment, ALM and data professionals engaged on important themes such as Responsible Investments (financing the transition, reduction of carbon intensity of portfolios, etc.) and the acceleration on alternative assets (Private Equity, Infrastructure Equity, Private Debt, Venture Capital, etc.).

GIA is divided in various teams (c.60 professionals) under the leadership of the Group Chief Investment Officer:

• Alternatives & Credit Team (“ACT”) in charge of all credit, fixed income, and alternatives activities (including investment, research and strategy teams).
• Group Solution Team in charge of investment solutions implementation and management (derivatives, FX, etc.).
• Group Asset Liability Management Team (“ALM”) in charge of managing all aspects related to ALM (duration, duration gap, capital charge, etc.).
• Monitoring & Reporting Team in charge of monitoring all investments across the group and is notably composed of data analysts leveraging both in-house and external solutions to allow the proper steering of investments.

The Private Markets practice is overseen by the Group Head of Strategic Asset Allocation, reporting to the Group CIO. Investments in alternatives in private markets are evaluated, decided, and monitored through “Centers of Expertise” comprised of members of the AXA Group Global Investments ACT team as well as representatives from the investment teams of the local entities.
