At Howden, we believe people make the difference. Founded in 1994, as just three people and a dog, we now have 22,000 of us in more than 50 countries, and we are a leading global insurance group, managing $47bn of premiums for our clients.

About us

At Howden, we know talent can come from anywhere and we’re committed to helping you build confidence, develop new skills, and grow into a successful career you’re proud of. You’ll be surrounded by experienced colleagues who want to see you succeed, and who’ll take the time to share their knowledge and expertise with you.

What started in 1994 as three people and a dog has grown into a global business of 25,000 people across more than 50 countries. Today, we're one of the world's leading insurance and reinsurance brokers, managing more than $54bn of premiums on behalf of our clients.

Most people think insurance is about cars and homes. We do that too. But we also help protect everything from major construction projects and clinical trials to works of art, airlines and satellites.

Help shape the business

We're employee-owned, which means our people don't just work for the business, they’re majority shareholders.

From day one, you'll be trusted with real responsibility and encouraged to contribute your ideas. We challenge convention, back ourselves to think differently and give people at every level a voice. For someone starting their career, that means the opportunity to make an impact much, much earlier than you might expect.

Build your expertise

The learning never stops at Howden. 

You'll be supported by experienced colleagues, mentors and buddies who genuinely want to see you succeed, because if you succeed we all do. 

Alongside day-to-day on the job learning, you'll have access to fully funded professional qualifications (full-time offers), regular feedback and development opportunities designed to help you build your skills and progress your career.

Work on problems that matter

Insurance helps people, businesses and communities move forward with confidence.

Whether it's helping a renewable energy project get off the ground, protecting a business from cyber threats, supporting an international sporting event or finding cover for a life-changing medical trial, the work we do has a real-world impact. You'll see first-hand how your work helps clients take on challenges, seize opportunities and recover when things don't go to plan.

If you're looking for a place where you can learn, grow and make a difference, Howden could be the perfect place to start.

Alongside competitive benefits, you'll receive two paid volunteering days each year, access to a buddy scheme, fully funded professional qualifications and support from colleagues and leaders across the business.
