Job description

Who are we?

Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. 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 24,000 employees spanning over 56 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.

As a Producer at Howden US, you’ll be part of a dynamic team serving clients across diverse industries and geographies. This role blends relationship building, risk advocacy, and entrepreneurial drive. No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

• Build and execute a personal sales plan to meet annual revenue and growth objectives.
• Prospect strategically—leveraging centers of influence, referrals, and your own network—to identify new opportunities.
• Conduct risk reviews and coverage assessments, uncovering exposures and recommending solutions.
• Develop and deliver high-quality proposals that reflect Howden’s consultative approach and market strength.
• Collaborate with account managers, claims advocates, and marketing specialists to ensure seamless service from proposal to renewal.
• Stay closely connected with clients year-round, providing proactive advice and positioning yourself as their trusted risk advocate.
• Partner with carriers to negotiate and place coverage tailored to complex and unique client needs.
• Contribute to building Howden’s presence in your community through networking, events, and thought leadership.
• Keep accurate and current records in CRM and reporting systems, leveraging data to prioritize and plan effectively.
• Continuously grow your expertise by keeping up with emerging risks, market developments, and innovative insurance solutions.

What do we offer in return?

• 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
