    Howden Group Holdings
    Howden Group Holdings London, United Kingdom

    1 week ago

    Default job background
    Full time
    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.

    We are looking for an Assistant Information Systems Business Partner to join our growing Business Systems team. You will work closely with colleagues within our Group IT function and our Business teams to align technology solutions with Howden's strategic objectives.

    This role is a permanent, full-time opportunity. Please also note this role is London-based and you are expected to be in the office on average 4 days per week.

    Role Responsibilities:

    Stakeholder Management

  • Act as a liaison between the Business Systems team and various business areas within Howden.
  • Conduct thorough discussions with stakeholders to comprehend their business objectives, challenges, and technology-related needs.
  • Collaborate closely with end-users, managers, and department heads to identify opportunities for leveraging information systems to streamline processes and enhance overall efficiency.

    • Projects

  • Participate actively in project meetings, ensuring a clear understanding of project objectives, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Take ownership of assigned tasks and actions related to business systems, overseeing their completion within specified timelines.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of business systems into ongoing projects.
  • Oversee the entire lifecycle of business systems projects from initiation to completion.
  • Manage transition of projects into BAU.

    • Reporting

  • Generate comprehensive monthly reports detailing the progress of active projects. Highlight key milestones achieved, potential risks identified, and upcoming project activities.
  • Present project updates during Business Systems and IT Service review meetings
  • Assist with internal audit reviews and UAR's where required

    • Role Requirements:

  • Proven experience taking ownership of business systems related projects and seeing them to completion. You must be able to provide clear evidence of effective stakeholder management and excellent cross-functional communication as part of these projects.
  • Exposure to policy admin systems or a similar type of insurance software technology
  • London Market experience is desirable
  • Strong MS Suite knowledge (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)

    • 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.
