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 mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 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 den Group Holdings has recognised that attracting and retaining the right talent is of paramount importance to the continued success of the Group.

We therefore need to attract individuals of the highest calibre through a recruitment process that is free from bias and discrimination, yet aligned to our commercial ambitions. Internal mobility plays an important role for the Group in retaining expertise, experience and talent by enabling employees to pursue their individual career goals and achieve their ambitions. We recognise that all people have a fundamental need and desire for on-going development and growth, and we also recognise that the best candidate for a role may already work inside the organisation so we encourage you to look internally for the next step in your career.

With a no limits approach, we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative – doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses and communities.
