Spend Your Summer Exploring the World of Reinsurance
Looking for more than just work experience? Join Howden Re's Broking & Advisory Summer Internship Programme and discover how some of the world's largest businesses manage risk in an ever-changing environment. From natural catastrophes and cyber threats to emerging global risks, you'll learn how reinsurance helps businesses and insurers stay resilient in an unpredictable world.
The 10-week programme is designed to give you meaningful exposure to the world of reinsurance, while helping you develop the knowledge, professional skills and confidence to kick start your career.
Better still, our programme offers a direct pathway into our Autumn 2028 graduate roles, subject to business needs and individual performance.
What you'll be doing?
You'll begin with a structured induction before stepping into a specialised team. This will give you a broad exposure to reinsurance broking and advisory services.
Areas you could gain experience in:
- Broking – see how major insurance businesses buy reinsurance protection and learn about the people and processes behind complex deals.
- Cyber Analytics – explore how data and technology are used to understand and predict cyber risk in a rapidly changing digital world.
- Strategic Advisory – work on business challenges and growth opportunities, helping clients make informed strategic decisions.
During the programme, you’ll:
- Work on meaningful projects in a collaborative environment.
- Learn how reinsurance programmes are designed, negotiated, and placed.
- Gain insight into different specialisms and shadow key meetings with reinsurers and insurers.
- Assist with preparing materials for client presentations.
- Collaborate with your fellow interns and work on a series of early careers projects.

You’ll be:
- In your penultimate year of study from any degree background.

Why should you apply?
At Howden, people are at the heart of everything we do. As an employee-owned business, we believe success is built through collaboration, learning and supporting one another.

You’ll also benefit from:
