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.

AXA Group Risk Management Property & Casualty (GRM P&C) deals with the most sophisticated P&C technical and actuarial challenges of a leading international insurance company, among which the management of natural catastrophe risks (CAT). Natural variability of climate and seismic activity have demonstrated their devastating potential, climate change bringing additional uncertainty for the future. AXA's rapid expansion over the last years – both in terms of geographical footprint and P&C insurance offer – widely exposes AXA to natural perils, being in charge of the financial protection of its clients. In this context, AXA must maintain state-of-the-art CAT risk management techniques through permanent innovations.

What You'll Do

This internship aligns with AXA's strategic approach, as a global insurance leader, to strengthen its ability to anticipate and model risks associated with natural disasters, particularly in the context of climate change. The goal is to enhance the robustness of prospective analyses and risk management strategies by leveraging advanced statistical tools. The intern will play a key role in developing tools to more effectively incorporate the impact of climate change into natural hazard risk modeling, supporting AXA's proactive portfolio management.

The intern will actively contribute to this effort by:

• Adapt the methodology for prospective natural risk modeling to all perils (storm, hail, drought, wildfire, flood) and geographic regions, calibrating the results of physical models using probabilistic approaches and integrating future climate scenarios.
• Conduct a scientific review on the impact of climate change for each peril and region studied.
• Analyze and compare results obtained from different approaches (probabilistic vs stochastic) to assess their relevance, robustness, and applicability, anchoring findings with market analysis results (CCR, ACPR, etc.).
• Prepare reports and technical summaries to formalize the work carried out.
