Overview
At Howden, we’re not just building a business—we’re rewriting the rules of what a global insurance broker can be. From three people and a dog to over 22,000 employees across 56 countries, we’ve grown into a $4bn revenue powerhouse with bold ambitions: to become a $13bn business with 40,000 people by 2030. We’re launching our US retail platform with the same entrepreneurial spirit and we’re looking for trailblazers to help shape the future.
