Junior Account Manager

This is an early-career role, and we are more interested in aptitude and attitude than in the length of your CV. Experience in insurance or aviation is welcome but not required – we will teach you the technical side. What we are looking for is:

Exceptional organisation. You will be handling many small tasks at once, and the difference between doing this well and doing it poorly is whether things are chased before they become late.

A high standard of accuracy and attention to detail, with the discipline to check your own work rather than assume it is right.

Confidence with numbers and good working knowledge of Excel.

Clear, professional written communication. Much of your output will be correspondence with clients, insurers and third parties that needs to be unambiguous and well presented.

Calm and resilient under pressure, with the ability to hold your nerve through busy renewal periods and to adapt when priorities change.

A collegiate approach – comfortable asking questions when you are unsure, and willing to help colleagues when they are under pressure. At Howden, everyone works for each other.

Genuine curiosity about aviation and a real appetite to learn the technical side of the market.

GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent) to ensure a solid foundation in core skills, with A levels desirable. A degree is not required.

A willingness to work towards professional qualifications such as the LLMIT (the Lloyd’s and London Market Introductory Test) and Cert CII or ACII, for which study support is provided.

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

We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations at Howden to ensure that our positions align well with your needs. Besides the usual adjustments such as software, IT, and office setups, we can also accommodate other changes such as flexible hours* or hybrid working*.

If you're excited by this role but have some doubts about whether it’s the right fit for you, send us your application – if your profile fits the role’s criteria, we will be in touch to assist in helping to get you set up with any reasonable adjustments you may require.

*Not all positions can accommodate changes to working hours or locations. Reach out to your Recruitment Partner if you want to know more.
