Associate

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.

The Role

Are you ambitious, entrepreneurial, and eager to learn? As an Analyst at Howden M&A, you’ll play a key role in supporting Associates and Senior Associates in delivering best-in-class insurance solutions for clients. You’ll gain deep insights into the M&A insurance market, working with leading investors, legal advisers, and businesses across various sectors.

No prior insurance experience? No problem—we’ll equip you with all the knowledge you need to succeed.

What you'll do

• Support client advisory teams in managing complex insurance requirements
• Assis with negotiation to secure the best possible terms for clients
• Develop business relationships and contribute to company growth
• Work collaboratively with specialists in tax, environmental, title, and litigation risks
• Over time, take ownership of transaction processes and client engagements

Who we're looking for

• A legal background and someone who is keen to move into the insurance industry
• A determination and willingness to learn about legal concepts and the M&A market
• Written and oral business fluency in English
• Ability to work well as part of an open and collaborative team
• Analytical, with an attention to detail
• Articulate, personable and willing to, in time, meet clients/prospective clients and their advisors to explain our offering

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden 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
