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.

  • Assist in the preparation of detailed client and broking documentation, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

  • Stay informed of regulatory and legal changes that impact the role, ensuring compliance.
  • Maintain up-to-date and accurate records on the company's systems at all times.
  • Respond promptly and appropriately to urgent issues as they arise, providing effective solutions.
  • Interpret and implement instructions and issues in line with company policies and procedures.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with Business Units, encouraging teamwork.
  • Handle incoming enquiries from clients, insurers, and third parties, ensuring a professional and timely response.
  • Handle client renewals and mid-term adjustments as required, delivering high-quality service.
  • Share valuable information that could benefit the Operating Entity or Group.
  • Remain up-to-date with industry, legal, and regulatory developments to ensure high standards of practice and output.


Skills & Attributes:

  • Proficient in IT skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Awareness and understanding of Xchanging systems.
  • Capable of undertaking and demonstrating competence in technical training as required by industry regulations.
  • Developing technical expertise in allocated business lines (not crucial for recruitment but will grow with experience).
  • Prior experience in insurance or a customer-facing environment is preferred.
  • - Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce accurate and well-documented work.
  • Ability to work optimally within a team and provide mentorship to less expert colleagues.

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.
