With support from Howden M&A, you will provide pre-acquisition and pre-divestment insurance due diligence services.

Key elements of the role include:

  • Advise clients on the existing and historical insurance programme to determine if the insurance programme is in line with expectations;
  • Identify risk and insurance related issues that may impact the transaction;
  • Determine current costs associated with the insurance programme and estimate what these costs will be post-completion;
  • Review claims data to identity any trends;
  • Issue a formal report to the investor client, followed by a meeting to discuss the findings of the report; and
  • Establish a post-completion placement strategy (if relevant).

Required skills:

  • At least a few years' experience of working in the insurance industry.
  • A high degree of knowledge of Liability, Property or Financial Lines insurances.
  • Previous experience of providing IDD services to investor clients would be beneficial.
  • Analytical, with an attention to detail.
  • Articulate, personable and willing to meet clients/prospective clients and their advisors to explain our offering.
  • Likely to hold ACII qualification (but this is not critical).

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 employeeownership 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.
