Job description

Who are we?

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 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. Whether your priorities are work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, or volunteering, you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

With a no-limits approach, we rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, concern, or risk, we get the right people in a room to find the right answer. Our collective power helps us change the insurance narrative—doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses, and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development and de-risking the carbon market, we use our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and promote positive change.
