About Howden
The openings on this board come from three corners of Howden, the employee-owned broker: Howden Ireland's branch network, the UK's local commercial branches and its Commercial & Schemes division, and the US Middle Market team. In Irish and English branches the core seat is the commercial account executive, who owns a book of small and mid-sized business clients, renews it against retention and new business targets and wins new accounts through local networking and client meetings, with account handlers preparing the quotes and paperwork behind them. Personal lines account executives in Ireland renew home and motor cover for individuals from any of its offices, and a Gloucester renewals team works private medical insurance renewals by phone, open to applicants from retail or just out of education. Pipeline comes from business development executives who prospect by phone and email for the Schemes teams and hand qualified leads to brokers, rural sales executives who take inbound farm enquiries, and London business development directors who open professional services firms at C-suite level. Specialist and senior seats include financial lines (professional indemnity, D&O, cyber) in Dublin, a head of general aviation account managers and a carrier-facing account manager in Howden Markets in London, a student contents partnership manager in Cheltenham, and US private client and employee benefits account roles.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Howden
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: UK and Irish postings name no salary at all: the English ones list only benefits keyed to it (life assurance as a multiple of salary, income protection, salary sacrifice schemes including car leasing), and none sets out a commission or bonus plan, even for account executives carrying new business and renewal targets. US Middle Market postings give an expected base salary range that moves with experience and work location, classify the role as exempt, and add eligibility for a discretionary bonus rather than commission. In the UK and Ireland ask for the base, whether any bonus rides on new business written or on the book's retention rate, how big the book is on day one, and whether passing professional insurance exams brings a pay step; in the US ask what has driven the discretionary bonus in recent years. The roles listed below state what Howden posts now.
