Who are we?

Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. 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 24,000 employees spanning over 56 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.

We are seeking a Global Mobility Coordinator to support the delivery of Howden’s Global Mobility programme. Reporting to the Global Mobility Manager, this role will play a key part in supporting our growing mobile population as our programme continues to evolve and expand.

This is a dynamic, fast-paced role supporting employees and stakeholders globally throughout the international mobility lifecycle. The successful candidate will have strong coordination skills, be data-led and take pride in building and managing stakeholder relationships. This role helps ensure that colleagues relocating internationally receive a smooth and compliant experience, while also supporting internal stakeholders with documentation, case management, reporting and vendor coordination.

A tenacious and proactive approach will be key to success in this role. You will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, taking ownership of actions and following issues through to resolution, while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in Global Mobility within a growing international organisation and gain exposure to a broad range of mobility activities and stakeholders.
