4 days ago

London, UK, United Kingdom myGwork Full time

This inclusive employer is a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community.

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.

People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That's what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

Howden is seeking an Account Executive to sit within our PR corporate communications team. You will work closely with the Group PR Director, PR Assistant Manager, and PR agencies to drive communications and PR activity across a variety of channels, both internally and externally. This role will focus heavily on media relations work, seeking out interesting stories and proof points from the business to pitch to the press and on monitoring PR output.

Please note this is a full-time, permanent role based in our central London office. The expectation is to be onsite 3 days per week on average.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Proactive Media Relations - You will support the generation of positive coverage for the Group across relevant media. This will include liaising with key product line areas and marketing teams to support PR activity and arranging topical commentary, building relationships within the business to find stories for use internally and externally where appropriate, working with our PR agency to secure commentary, drafting briefings and other external communications, maintaining good media relations, arranging interviews for key spokespeople. The aim is to help us tell the corporate story creatively and consistently across the business.

  • Reactive Media Relations - Coordinating media enquiries and responses from nominated Group spokespeople. Alerting senior management to potentially damaging enquiries and working with the team to develop appropriate responses in a timely fashion.

  • Press Releases, Q&As, Briefings - You will be expected to produce written materials of the highest quality and manage the approval process in the business when required. These materials will either be issued to the media for use or circulated within the Group for information and guidance.

  • PR Reporting -Managing the collation of news coverage after a release or comment opportunity and the creation and formatting of monthly coverage reports using the Signal platform to create metrics.

  • Social Media - Working with our social media team on LinkedIn posts and longer campaigns to amplify announcements and other company news, working with Group's internal communications team on employee-focused announcements, as well as liaising with our digital team to post releases on our website.

Role Requirements:

  • Previous experience in a similar PR or corporate communications role, demonstrating a proven ability to secure media coverage. You should have also acquired diverse stakeholder management experience across various business levels. ​

  • You will have excellent writing skills with experience of drafting copy for internal and external communications.

  • You will preferably have a working knowledge of the insurance industry, how it works, who the key players are and the hot topics in the industry.

  • You will have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate at all levels.

  • You will be highly organised with the ability to juggle several projects at a time.

Our Culture: People First

We've travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. Back then we were local experts - based in London, with direct access to the world's biggest insurance market. We're still locals, and we still deliver the right advice and the right insurance to our clients. But now, we're local all over the world. With 15,000 global colleagues and a partner network spanning more than 100 territories, we are the largest independent insurance broker in the world. But our values haven't changed since day one, when we set out to create a company grounded in:

• An employee-ownership model
• Aligned external investors
• The trust and integrity born of friendship
• Expertise
• Independence

Our focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of Howden. Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture; one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. Our employee ownership model sets us apart in the market. It's created a culture of collaboration and innovation, where we're driven to think bigger and empowered to challenge convention.

Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves. And when we bring in and nurture great talent, more follows. That makes us better - and that's better for everyone.

Diversity & Inclusion


At Howden 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 their age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances.
