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 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:

We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Events Executive to support the seamless planning, coordination, and execution of a wide variety of internal and external events across Howden CAP. You will play a key role in creating memorable, brand-aligned experiences that support our client engagement goals. This hands-on role blends logistics, creativity, and cross-team collaboration.

What you'll do:

• Map out all CAP events across Pillars for the year with the Head of Client Engagement
• Plan and execute events (venue sourcing, attendee management…)
• Work closely with the marketing team to design invitations, track RSVPs, and create post-event materials (videos, LinkedIn posts, thank you emails, etc.).
• Help track event performance via Compass campaigns.
• Assist with event setup and manage last-minute changes.
• Submit event business cases to ensure compliance with company policies and ensure the right approvals are in place.
• Handle event-related expenses through Chrome River and Finops.
• Maintain electronic files for all events, and make sure all documents are saved accordingly.
• Manage the CAP events calendar and tracker.
• Assist in organising internal events such as Town Halls and manage virtual event platforms such as ON24.
• Source tickets for external events and coordinate conference participation.
• Monitor the CAP Events inbox and reply to enquiries.
• Coordinate with agencies to plan company trips and team away days.
• Collaborate with the sponsorship team to manage all sponsorship-related requests.
• Manage sponsorship event invitations on Sponsorworks.
• Coordinate with internal teams (marketing, finance, operations) to ensure smooth event execution.
• Help track event performance via Compass campaigns.
• Lead CAP’s Community Impact efforts and encourage employees to get involved in community initiatives.
• Work closely with the Events Analyst to share updates, track feedback, and continuously improve processes.
• Address ad-hoc event-related queries

Who we're looking for:

• Problem-solving abilities: Capable of quickly addressing and resolving issues that arise during event planning and execution.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills (especially PowerPoint, Word, and Excel).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Impeccable organisational abilities and attention to detail.
• A creative flair for event design and presentation.
• A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to multitask and work under pressure.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a customer-service mindset.
• Comfortable working independently as well as within cross-functional teams.

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
