Job 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.
With a no limits approach, we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative – doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses and communities.
We are actively looking for a Commercial Account Executive to join our Howden Consumer & Local Commercial team. In this role, you will be responsible for building rapport with new and existing clients, who could range from sole traders to the MD/CEO of a large organization, and working closely with the Branch Manager to achieve objectives.
About you:
You will have experience winning new business and building long-lasting relationships with B2B clients. You must have a passion for developing business through marketing, community engagement, networking, and client meetings. You will be tenacious and have a business curiosity, as this will allow you to identify and explore new business opportunities to drive the best possible outcome for our clients.
You are willing to learn, as every day will be different. This is a great opportunity to progress your career as a Commercial Account Executive and further your professional qualifications. You are consultative, have the ability to question effectively and will be an active listener; you will take the time to fully understand client requirements and be able to advise on products and solutions.
Rewards:
We believe that great work and dedication should be rewarded, that’s why we offer:
1. 22 days holiday, increasing to 27 days through service (plus bank holidays)
2. Access to a Healthcare Cashplan, which gives you access to 17 different benefits, all paid for by us
3. Excellent training and development schemes with accelerated career progression
4. Company funded CII professional qualification
5. Enhanced maternity & paternity policies
6. Cycle to work loan scheme available to all employees
7. Discount on gym membership across the UK – national and local gyms included
8. Access to discounted personal health policies as well as a range of insurance products
9. Access to hundreds of high street retailer discounts through our reward and recognition platform
10. Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support employees outside of work
The above details just a handful of the benefits available to our employees, more information will be made available through the recruitment process.
Our Culture: People First
We’ve travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. 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.
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.
