The Association of British Insurers is the voice of the UK’s world-leading insurance and long-term savings industry. A productive and inclusive sector, our industry supports towns and cities across Britain in building back a balanced and innovative economy, employing over 310,000 individuals in high-skilled, lifelong careers, two-thirds of which are outside of London.
As an organisation, we’re a collaborative bunch and work in a fast paced, friendly, open plan office in the heart of the City (don’t get us started on how good our view is). We work hard but have lots of fun along the way – our Sports and Social Committee make sure of that. COVID-19 has meant we've spent much of our time working from home but we've kept our positive work culture going with plenty of virtual activities including step challenges, wellbeing events, quizzes, an escape room and much-welcome food hampers delivered to our doors.
Our role is to develop policy solutions for challenges facing society where our industry has a role to play – think tackling the impact of Covid-19 and Brexit, to giving the public more transparency around their pensions, to name just a few. As a forward-thinking organisation, we work with government, regulators and policymakers, both in the UK and internationally, to ensure the insurance and long-term savings industry meets the needs of the public to the highest standard.

Our People
When meeting us, you’ll quickly find out we are united in our belief that the best thing about the ABI is the people.

The ABI values are at the heart of everything we do:
We are Brave
We take Ownership
We are Appreciative
We are Human
We are Curious
We live by these values in our day to day working lives, however, we do this with a common understanding that we are individuals, and everyone will apply them differently.
If we sounds like we’re your kind of people, take a look at the jobs we have on offer at the bottom of this page.
We are a leading voice for greater diversity in the insurance and long-term savings sector and are working with our members to build a modern and inclusive industry.
Our Talent & Diversity Network brings our members together to discuss key issues, share best practice and drive change. As an employer, our inclusion strategy focuses on creating a culture at the ABI that allows everyone to thrive.
First launched in 2018 and refreshed in 2020, our internal inclusion strategy sets out the ambition to be a workplace that attracts, nurtures and retains a diverse range of talent and where all colleagues feel able to bring their whole selves to work. In addition to continuing commitments to flexible working, supporting the INvolve mentoring scheme for LGBTQ+ and Black, Asian and minority ethnic colleagues and tracking progress on inclusion work through the employee engagement survey, we have committed to:
When applying for jobs with us, please be reassured that through our blind recruitment process, we’re doing everything we can to ensure your application is treated fairly and that we assess all candidates objectively against the requirements of the role. Our roles are advertised as open to flexible working or job share and we welcome a discussion with you on this.
If you are looking at our early careers opportunities as a placement student or Summer intern, it’s worth noting we don’t mandate any prior work experience or knowledge of insurance. We are proud to be London Living Wage employer and all of our placements, internships and apprenticeships are paid accordingly.
