The posting

About DUAL

Working across 21 countries, DUAL has built a reputation as a specialist underwriting group and the market of choice for insurance intermediaries around the world. That’s how we have become one of the world’s largest international underwriting agencies (or MGAs) with US$3.4bn GWP.

DUAL is part of Howden, a leading global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. Founded in 1994, it provides insurance, reinsurance and underwriting services to clients ranging from private individuals to the largest multinational companies. The Group operates in 57 countries, employs over 24,000 people and manages premiums totalling US$50bn on behalf of its clients.

Role overview

We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Executive Assistant to join us on a 12-month contract.

This is an exciting opportunity to become a trusted partner to our remotely based Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO), while working closely with the and contributing to our locally based Executive Assistant team. You’ll play a key role in keeping priorities moving, supporting strategic initiatives and helping our leadership team operate at their best. No two days are the same! From coordinating executive activities and underwriting projects to supporting carrier engagement, business reporting and workplace experience initiatives, you’ll be at the centre of a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, bringing structure to complexity and taking ownership of a diverse portfolio of work. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys balancing a variety of responsibilities, and takes pride in making a meaningful impact behind the scenes.

About you

We’re looking for someone who has previously worked in an Executive Assistant role and understands the pace, discretion, and adaptability required to support senior leaders effectively.

You’ll bring:

  • Proven experience providing high-level executive support in a fast-paced environment
  • Outstanding organisational skills and the ability to expertly manage competing priorities
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage and build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across the business, clearly communicating priorities and driving outcomes
  • A proactive attitude and the confidence to anticipate needs, solve problems, and at times take initiative with minimal direction and be an independent worker
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex information into clear, engaging content and presentations
  • High attention to detail and a natural ability to coordinate multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills (Outlook, PowerPoint, Word and Teams) and experience using Monday.com

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys being a trusted partner, takes ownership of your work, and is passionate about helping others succeed.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define.

Of course, we offer a competitive range of rewards and benefits to support you, but we know you expect all that.

What you might not expect is a job where everyone has a voice, where volunteering in the community is part of the day job, and where everyone is encouraged to play a part towards our sustainability goals. We want people who want to make a difference - not just in the workplace, but in the industry and in the wider community.

Our culture: people first

Our core values dictate how we live and work. We’re a group with independence and people at its heart – and a home for talent with a unique culture: the biggest small company in the world.

Being a people-first business has always been central to who we are. Our vision was to create an independent organisation with a distinctive culture that would survive and thrive through the people who shape it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial individuals to join the group has been, and will continue to be, key to our success.

Diversity and inclusion

At DUAL, our people are our greatest strength. We are committed to building an open and inclusive culture where everyone feels trusted and that they belong. We work to ensure all candidates, employees, clients and business partners are treated with fairness and respect.

We want every candidate to be able to bring their best to the recruitment process, so if you require reasonable accommodation at any stage, please let us know and we will work with you to provide appropriate support.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
