Build something special with us

At Howden, we're not just about insurance. We're about our people, our clients, and the relationships that make a difference. As we continue to grow our Mid-Market Practice, we're looking for an experienced Client Adviser to join our team and help shape a servicing proposition built around exceptional client outcomes. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a growing practice from the ground up, working alongside talented Client Directors, Client Executives and the wider servicing team to support a portfolio of mid-market and corporate clients.

You may currently be working as a Client Adviser, Account Handler, Corporate Broker or in a similar client-facing role and be looking for the opportunity to develop your career within a business that empowers its people to make an impact. Reporting to the Client Advisory Team Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering first-class service to our clients, supporting retention and growth objectives, and helping establish the foundations of a high-performing and scalable client servicing model.

What you'll be doing

  • Build trusted relationships with a portfolio of mid-market and corporate clients, delivering exceptional service and support throughout the year.
  • Work closely with Client Executives and insurer partners to develop and deliver effective renewal and placement strategies.
  • Manage the day-to-day servicing of client programmes, ensuring queries, adjustments and renewals are handled efficiently and professionally.
  • Contribute to market exercises and negotiations, helping secure the most competitive and appropriate insurance solutions for clients.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across the wider business to deliver outstanding client outcomes and a consistent service experience.
  • Play an active role in the growth and development of our Mid-Market Practice, helping shape a high-performing and scalable servicing proposition.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
