Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

The Role

The Contracts Administrator is responsible for providing administrative support to the Security & Counterparty team, particularly in relation to contract reviews and agency applications. This role involves maintaining business records, ensuring compliance with company policies, and supporting various projects.

What You'll Be Doing

• Reviewing and assisting with contracts and agency applications.
• Maintaining and updating business records.
• Producing metrics and updating measures for effectiveness.
• Managing assigned projects and contributing to other projects as required.
• Providing relevant management information to senior management.
• Developing technical expertise in Insurer Terms of Business Agreements.
• Assisting with the completion of Agency/Intermediary questionnaires and on-boarding documents.
• Gathering and utilizing information from company systems for monitoring security and counterparties.
• Keeping informed of regulatory and legal changes impacting the role.
• Responding appropriately to urgent issues as they arise.

Who We're Looking For

• Experience in a legal or paralegal role.
• Experience working within the insurance industry.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• Logical approach to problem-solving.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Good planning, organization, and time management skills.
• Ability to prioritize effectively.
• Ability to articulate complex concepts simply.

Qualifications

• Relevant qualifications in law or paralegal studies.
• Training in company policies, processes, and procedures.
• Up-to-date knowledge of regulatory and legal developments.
• Compliance with all applicable legal, fiscal, and regulatory obligations.
• Completion of relevant regulatory training.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define.

Our business succeeds by allowing our people to make a mark in the areas they care about most: personal development, volunteering, and fundraising for charity, or creating new insurance products that address society’s greatest challenges.

And we know that separate home and work lives don't really exist. If you're happy and healthy at home, you're more likely to be happy and fulfilled at work – and vice versa. That's why we do our best to support our people in every aspect of their lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Howden we value diversity - there is no one Howden ‘personality 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
• We support each other, in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges
• We are determined to make a positive difference, at work and beyond

We consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness, and respect – regardless of age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or family circumstances.

Reasonable adjustments

We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations at Howden to ensure that our positions align well with your needs. Besides the usual adjustments such as software, IT, and office setups, we can also accommodate other changes such as flexible hours* or hybrid working*.

If you're excited by this role but have some doubts about whether it’s the right fit for you, send us your application – if your profile fits the role’s criteria, we will be in touch to assist in helping to get you set up with any reasonable adjustments you may require.

*Not all positions can accommodate changes to working hours or locations. Reach out to your Recruitment Partner if you want to know more.

Our sustainability promise

We’re on a life-long journey to become an ever-more sustainable group. It's a commitment to taking care of our people and the world we live in, to doing good business, and to making a positive impact wherever we can. Our governance processes, company policies, and review systems are all geared towards our goal of making a positive impact in the world. You can read more about our sustainability work here.
