As a company whose business is to protect people, we have a responsibility to leverage our skills, resources and risk expertise to build a stronger and safer society.

PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAM CONTEXT / TEAM

Group CIO division has been set up in 2021 and its position towards Group and GO governance requires a certain number of programs activities to be led centrally to support the Group CIO in his role and mandate.

The PRIME Program is a joint IT and Business transformation program that aims to unlock business value by modernizing AXA core insurance application landscape hosted on the mainframe whilst minimizing the legacy platform ramp down risks. Overall, building a future-ready technological backbone to allow the scaling of tech, data and operations to create a competitive advantage.

This Program is by far the largest business and tech transformation program ever run at AXA in terms of investments (€bns) & duration (>10 years) covering 9 entities. It’s sponsored by two global MC members and followed directly by the Global IT Executive Committee.

The PRIME Central Team PMO trainee will be hosted within the Group CIO PRIME central team. The PRIME central team is a lean team (around 10 FTEs) ensuring the strategic steering of the program (strategic roadmap, business case …), the derisking and the mutualization strategy (shared capabilities prioritization…) to optimize the overall program delivery.
