Who are we?
Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. 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 24,000 employees spanning over 56 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.
This position blends relationship management, sales capability, and technical insurance expertise to deliver tailored risk solutions and build long-term client partnerships. You’ll work closely with senior colleagues while developing your own portfolio and professional credibility within the rural market.
The successful candidate will inherit a book of business of approximately £200k in revenue to manage, while being supported to onboard new business and maintain strong professional connections. Using Howden’s exclusive products, you will play a key role in driving growth through the organic acquisition of Rural, Farm, and Estate clients, while developing and strengthening the inherited portfolio.
