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 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 at Howden.

We’re thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to begin their career in the dynamic world of insurance at Howden! As a Junior Claims Executive, you’ll join an encouraging and forward-thinking team, where we provide you with the tools, training, and encouragement to succeed.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build relationships with our team and clients.

Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail.

Passion and a proactive attitude to solve challenges head-on.

A dedication to confidentiality and discretion when handling sensitive information.

What You’ll Bring:

No prior experience in insurance is required—we’ll provide full training to set you up for success!

What do we offer in return?

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
