Summary

This role is based in Amsterdam

Who are we

The Tax & Contingent Risks (T&CR) team is looking for a tax risk broker for our Amsterdam office.

T&CR is a specialist division of Howden CAP (Capital, Advisory and Placement) within the Howden Broking Group, meeting increasing client demand for capital and insurance solutions that support their growth, optimise their capital and help achieve strategic goals.

The team was originally formed to advise on tax and litigation risks arising in the context of M&A deals. Given the evolution of the tax and contingent risk insurance market, however, the team has seen a considerable increase in demand for non-transactional solutions, to optimize the capital and liquidity positions of our clients and / or ring-fence non-transactional risks.

The team combines in-depth understanding of specialist insurance markets with tax, litigation and structuring expertise from top tier law firms, investment banks and Big 4 to advise on the structuring and negotiation of innovative specific risk insurance and capital solutions. T&CR currently consists of more than 20 colleagues across the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to play a key role growing the T&CR proposition in the Netherlands as well as the Benelux and the rest of Europe.

The Role

We are seeking a personable and high-reaching individual broker to assist in growing our Dutch tax risk insurance business. The role will require an entrepreneurial approach and willingness to use initiative, but also a strong tax background.

The candidate will be encouraged to spend the initial 1-6 months in London (Howden CAP HQ) while getting up to speed.

What you'll do

  • Running the entire tax risk policy placement process, including : assessing client enquiries; obtaining the most favourable terms in the market; advising on structuring solutions; and negotiating policies with insurers on behalf of the client.
  • Whilst the candidate will mostly focus on Dutch tax risk policies, there will also be an opportunity to work on projects across the Benelux and the rest of Europe.
  • Over time the candidate will be encouraged to assist in developing new products, BD initiatives and maintaining relationships with insurers and clients in the Netherlands.
  • Assisting the W&I team in various matters such as identifying tax risk opportunities in Dutch W&I projects (cross-selling) and negotiating tax aspects of Benelux W&I policies.

Who we’re looking for

  • 3-5 years post-qualification experience in a tax role at a law firm, advisory / accounting firm or at a multinational / fund / bank (in-house) in Netherlands.
  • Excellent commercial, technical and analytical abilities, sound judgment, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a high level of personal commitment;
  • Self-motivated, innovative and able to work both autonomously and collaboratively;
  • Dedication, attention to detail and time management are essential skills for this role. You should have the flexibility required to work in a dynamic environment under tight deadlines, and effectively manage stakeholder expectations.

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 18,500 employees spanning over 100 countries.
