DUAL- Power BI Developer

DUAL is a different kind of MGA and has been since day one in 1998. We’ve built our business on the idea that when industry expertise, intelligent underwriting and an entrepreneurial mindset come together, insurance can help our partners thrive. Today that philosophy is as relevant as ever. Our intermediary and carrier partners around the world rely on our underwriting teams to take initiative, lean into the challenges of an increasingly complex world, and respond to our clients’ emerging needs.

A career that grows with you

DUAL is a place where you can bring your whole self to work – a people-first company that helps you be the best you can be.

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture – one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success. 

People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities – work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
