Be a part of Howden Re's exciting journey. Together, we are shaping the future of reinsurance.

• Ability to work flexibly to achieve tight deadlines / targets

• Highly organised with good planning and time management skills

• Strong attention to detail

• Outgoing personality with good communication skill and a work ethic to learn from a combined 100+ years’ experience from the Placing Brokers within the hiring team.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

• Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new
