Job description

Who are we?

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

People join Howden for various reasons, but they stay for our unique culture. It’s what sets us apart and makes our employees decline headhunters. Whether your priorities are work/life balance, career growth, sustainability, or volunteering, you’ll find like-minded individuals driving change here.

With a no-limits approach, we rise to any challenge. We gather the right people to find the best solutions, whether the question, concern, or risk. Our collective power helps us change the insurance narrative—doing right by clients while using insurance 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 and networks to make a difference and promote positive change.

Loving what you do helps you build rapport and provide the best solutions.
• You are ambitious. We promote from within; all leadership roles start as Insurance Advisor. We equip you with the tools, and all we ask is your desire to succeed.
