Analyst

Analyst (m/f/d) Howden M&A Insurance

Start Q4 2025

The Role

We are seeking a personable and bold individual to assist in growing within our business as an Analyst. The role will require an ambitious and proactive approach, a willingness to use initiative, appetite for knowledge and the ability to work well as part of a team.

The successful individual will learn about the M&A insurance market and develop knowledge about different risks facing businesses across a wide variety of sectors.

What you'll be doing

Understand and learn the unique Howden M&A approach to broking which has underpinned our growth across Europe.

Engage with clients and underwriters and, in time, run transaction processes from an insurance perspective.

Work together with our specialist tax, environmental, title and litigation teams to identify up-selling opportunities for supplementary policies.

Join business development meetings and pitches with investors and legal advisors, with a view to developing your skillset to ultimately run these meetings and develop your own client base.

Provide ongoing support to Howden's team of experts in the execution of client-specific insurance solutions for domestic and international M&A transactions.

Actively contribute to the creation of marketing materials and presentations in German and English.

Research on ongoing M&A activities as well as market and competitor analysis.

What we're looking for

Written and oral business proficiency in German, English and MS Office skills (particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint).

You have a degree in business administration, economics, law or business law and may already have gained some experience in the field of M&A.

Analytical, with an attention to detail.

Articulate, personable and comfortable talking to new people (i.e. clients, lawyers, underwriters).

You have a quick perception, outstanding analytical skills and are characterized by a sense of responsibility, commitment and enjoy working on projects.

You are curious, eager to learn and take a proactive approach towards challenges.

What we can offer you

A career that you define.

Our business succeeds by allowing our people to make a mark in the areas they care about most: personal development, volunteering, and fundraising for charity, or creating new insurance products that address society’s greatest challenges.

And we know that separate home and work lives don't really exist. If you're happy and healthy at home, you're more likely to be happy and fulfilled at work – and vice versa. That's why we do our best to support our people in every aspect of their lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Howden we value diversity - there is no one Howden ‘personality 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 consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness, and respect – regardless of age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or family circumstances.

Reasonable adjustments

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.
