About the job
As a Senior Broker Varia at Howden, your role is pivotal in delivering exceptional value to our clients. With your extensive knowledge and specialization in Financial Lines, you excel at identifying risks and transforming them into viable solutions. Are you ready to take on this challenge?
What Your Role Looks Like:
In this position, you will serve as a key advisor for our business clients, assessing their risk landscape in collaboration with the account manager. Your broad generalist skills will be complemented by your specific focus on Financial Lines.
You will have the courage to provide honest assessments to clients, highlighting vulnerabilities they may not have recognized, thus equipping them to better manage potential risks. You will ensure that insurable risks are appropriately placed with the right insurers.
Additionally, you will work closely with the account manager to ensure our clients maintain control over their risks, now and in the future.
Our Objective: While uncertainties will always exist, our goal is to partner with clients to find the most suitable solutions for risk management. Our approach is to explore, prevent, and, where necessary, insure – in that order.

- 20% Engaging with colleagues, insurers, and other stakeholders to determine the best solutions.
