Early Careers Program Administrator

Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the growth and sustainability of Howden’s early careers offering. As Program Administrator, you’ll support the end-to-end delivery and continuous improvement of our growing portfolio of early careers initiatives—from the London Market Group and Future Academy, to Inclusive Futures, Get into Insurance (with RugbyWorks), and more.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and produce high-impact PowerPoint presentations: develop strategy decks, program evaluations, and roadmaps for the Early Careers team, ensuring content is visually engaging, on-brand, and delivered quickly to meet tight deadlines.
• Program Delivery & Coordination:
  • Provide day-to-day administrative and operational support across a portfolio of early careers programs.
  • Coordinate logistics, calendars, events, and communications with partners, schools, charities, and internal teams.
  • Maintain accurate program records, documentation, and impact reporting.
  • Support the ongoing early careers cycle, including CV screening, coordinating video interview invites, and preparing for assessment days (for both internal stakeholder participation and external candidate experience).
• Stakeholder & Partner Support:
  • Act as a key point of contact for internal and external partners—supporting relationships with schools, community organisations, and delivery providers.
  • Support the onboarding and experience of participants and ambassadors involved in Howden’s early careers initiatives.
• Sustainable Program Growth:
  • Help create repeatable processes, templates, and toolkits to enable scalable delivery of new and existing programs.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across Early Careers, DE&I, and Corporate Responsibility to ensure aligned and cohesive delivery and impact.

What We’re Looking For:

• Advanced PowerPoint proficiency and fast turnaround skills—you can quickly translate complex ideas into clear, compelling slides and are confident building polished decks that inform, influence, and inspire.
• Excellent project management skills, with the ability to effectively coordinate multiple programs running concurrently and navigate competing priorities.
• Strong coordination and administrative skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Confident communicator with a collaborative mindset and a passion for creating opportunities for young people.
• Organised, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting youth, community, outreach, or educational programs is a plus.

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.
