    1 week ago

    Default job background
    Description
    Whatever your priorities – work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you'll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

    Working closely with central functions like IT, HR, Corporate Comms, Finance, Facilities, Legal, and business units such as our broking teams, this role requires a broad range of experience and skills to deliver on the responsibilities listed below.

    Please note this is a full-time, permanent role based in our London office. The expectation is to be onsite 1-2 days a week on average.
    Interact with stakeholders in Procurement as well as within the business to maximise value, whilst reducing risk.
    Develop strategic sourcing strategies for the given category/contract including the renewal cycle.
    Know and utilise complex business processes including risk/regulatory/compliance requirements.

    Run a range of sourcing projects in line with procedures, in which speed of delivery is often a desirable outcome.

    Negotiate commercial aspects of supplier contracts effectively maintaining leverage and outcomes including consolidation into other agreements, whilst working with legal and business stakeholders.

    Running RFXs for projects of varying value and complexity.
    Being able to run multiple RFX processes and projects autonomously with minimal supervision is essential.
    Expert in developing and implementing sourcing strategies, project plans, and leading supplier negotiations.
    Ability to forge close business relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all management levels.
    Finely honed project management skills.
    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.

    Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves.

    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.

    Permanent In November 1994, David Howden founded a business that was literally the smallest insurance broker in the world.

    A minority external investor with a long-term outlook
    3 friends (and a dog)
    A commitment to building a business with independence enshrined in its fabric

    Today, the business has a global footprint of more than 14,500 employees in 50 countries spanning Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas.
