AXA Spain
AXA is a multinational insurance and asset management group headquartered in Paris, France. AXA Spain operates as a major subsidiary offering insurance products (life, health, property, casualty) and financial services across the Spanish market. The company leverages global resources and technology while serving millions of customers through digital channels, agent networks, and bancassurance partnerships.
With offices concentrated in Madrid and Barcelona, AXA Spain hosts a significant technology, data, and cybersecurity hub — as reflected in its large number of AI, engineering, and network security roles. The Spain branch is a key market for the group, with roles open to international professionals who can navigate a modern, multilingual work environment. Many positions are posted in Spanish, but the presence of English-language job titles (e.g., Security Analyst, Senior Underwriter, AI Factory Head) signals openness to foreign talent, especially in technical areas.
Company History
AXA traces its origins to 1816 in Rouen, France, as Mutuelle de l'Assurance contre l'Incendie (MACL). It became AXA in 1985 through a series of mergers and rapid global expansion. Today it is one of the world's largest insurance groups, with €94 billion in revenue and presence in 50+ countries. AXA has been operating in Spain since 1990, headquartered in Madrid, and is one of the country's leading insurers.
