Our Culture: People First
We've travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. Back then we were local experts - based in London, with direct access to the world's biggest insurance market. We're still locals, and we still deliver the right advice and the right insurance to our clients. But now, we're local all over the world. With 15,000 global colleagues and a partner network spanning more than 100 territories, we are the largest independent insurance broker in the world. But our values haven't changed since day one, when we set out to create a company grounded in:
* An employee-ownership model
* Aligned external investors
* The trust and integrity born of friendship
* Expertise
* Independence
Our focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of Howden. Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture; one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. Our employee ownership model sets us apart in the market. It's created a culture of collaboration and innovation, where we're driven to think bigger and empowered to challenge convention.
Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves. And when we bring in and nurture great talent, more follows. That makes us better - and that's better for everyone.
Diversity & 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 their age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances. -

Howden CAP Early Careers Scheme - London (Greater), United Kingdom - Howden Group Holdings
Description
From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That's what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
Howden CAP is the global capital, advisory and placement business of Howden. We advise banks, large corporates and investment funds on how insurance can facilitate transactions (whether an investment, loan or sale). This helps our clients grow, optimise capital and achieve their strategic objectives.
Howden CAP comprises of six core pillars: Credit & Political Risks, Surety, Tax & Contingent Risks, M&A, Climate Risk & Resilience and Legal, Technical & Claims. The following teams are recruiting through the Howden Pioneers scheme: Credit & Political Risks, Surety and Tax & Contingent Risks.
As a Broker in Howden CAP, your day-to-day will be quite varied: alongside your team, you will work with specific clients to place risks with insurers, assist with the negotiation of effective insurance terms to ensure client needs are best met in relation to pricing and cover, as well as participate in team meetings and client calls. You will also manage queries from underwriters and external requests as and when they arise.
You'll get a lot of exposure to the various elements that make up our team as well as the wider CAP division, and we provide full training for our new starters.
