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 Group Holdings 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 Group.

As a Data Administrator in the Howden CAP Credit & Political Risks team, you will play a pivotal role to efficiently support the broking and operations teams to deliver an excellent administration service.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define.

Yes, we offer all the usual rewards and benefits - including great healthcare provision, a wide variety of wellbeing offers, competitive salary, generous pensions and more - but we know you expect all that.

What you might not expect is a job where everyone has a voice, where volunteering in the community is part of the day job, and where everyone is encouraged to play a part towards our sustainability goals.

We want people who want to make a difference - not just in the workplace, but in the industry and in the wider community.

Our Culture:
People First

We are proud to be at the global table, but we are most proud of our culture.

It has been built on a single and constant set of principles over more than 25 years, and it has helped us become:

An international group with independence and people at its heart
A home for talent with a unique culture: the biggest small company in the world

The focus on being a People First business has always been at the very heart of the Group.

David's 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.

Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people to join the Group has been and will continue to be key.
