Who are we?
Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.
People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. 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. Our local Commercial team has grown rapidly over the last 14 years, and we now have over 200 people within the team across the UK. 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.
* 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, understanding client requirements and advising on products and solutions.
Rewards:
We believe that great work and dedication should be rewarded, that’s why we offer:
* 22 days holiday (plus bank holidays), increasing through length of service.
* A set of core benefits, designed with your health and financial protection in mind:
* Life Assurance up to 4x salary, protecting your loved ones in case the worst should happen.
* Income protection, guaranteeing an income for up to 5 years in the event of an illness or injury.
* Contributory pension scheme – 4% employer contribution and 5% employee contribution, rising to 5% & 5% in April 2025.
* Access to a Healthcare Cashplan, which gives you access to a variety of health-related benefits.
* Access to a host of lifestyle and financial benefits that you can choose from.
What do we offer in return?
A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:
* Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new.
* We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges.
* We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond.
Reasonable adjustments

About Us
Howden began in 1994, as just three people and a dog. Now there are 17,000 of us, and we're a leading global insurance group, managing $38bn of premiums for our clients.
Our largest shareholder group is us – the people who work in the business – supported by three long-term, minority growth-equity partners who share our vision to build a business to last, one that will never be sold.
The owner's mindset is something that's embedded in our culture; our people readily take ownership of their decisions, their actions, and their outputs. They’re invested in every sense. And we all know that by working together to drive the business forward, everyone will benefit from the extraordinary results we can achieve.
