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 mind-set, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 15,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

Our people are our biggest asset as well as our largest shareholder group and are everything that makes us unique; our inclusive culture, the quality service we offer our clients, and our continued growth, all come from our people-first approach. There's no such thing as individual success. We all need to play our part, contributing our skills and experience to make a true difference. That's Howden.

Why work at Howden?

We have always been employee-owned and driven by entrepreneurial spirit. Right from the beginning, we've focused on employing talented individuals and empowering them to make a real difference to the company, whilst building successful and fulfilling careers at the same time. Simply put, we hire talented specialists and give them what they need to make a difference for clients. Always have, always will.

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 disappointed head-hunters for years. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

Howden is a group of talented insurance experts who have the freedom to deliver for clients and the support to do what they do best. We are actively looking for a Finance Business Partner to join our fast-paced and highly commercial FP&A team. The purpose of this newly created role is to provide commercial and analytical support to the business at an exciting phase of development and growth.

  • You will have industry qualifications including CIMA/ACCA/ACA

  • You will work well an autonomous environment, managing your own workload and business priorities, as you will be preparing weekly, monthly and ad-hoc analysis and insights, both financial and non-financial

  • Provide financial modelling of business cases

  • You will understand processes and over-arching principle, as you will be supporting the budgeting and forecasting processes, including the evolution of our Anaplan budgeting tool

Rewards:

  • 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), pro-rated for part year service

  • A set of core benefits, designed with your health and financial protection in mind:

    • Life Assurance up to 4x salary, protecting your loved ones in case the worst should happen

    • Income protection, guaranteeing an income for up to 5 years in the event of an illness or injury

    • Contributory pension scheme - 4% employer contribution and 5% employee contribution, rising to 5% & 5% in April 2025

    • Access to a Healthcare Cashplan, which gives you access to a variety of health related benefits

  • Access to a host of lifestyle and financial benefits that you can choose from:

    • Discounts on gym membership across the UK

    • Salary sacrifice schemes - Travel Insurance, Cycle to Work, Car leasing, Technology purchase

    • A range of insurance products available commission free, including home, motor, travel and specialist vehicles

    • Access to hundreds of high-street retailer discounts

    • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support employees outside of work

Who we're looking for

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

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 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.

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.
