Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Account Manager to join our growing Housing Division based in our Chelmsford office.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in commercial insurance, particularly across mid-corporate to large risk clients, who is confident in managing client relationships, navigating the market, and delivering a first-class service.
You’ll bring proven expertise in broking, negotiation, and market awareness, alongside a deep understanding of client service excellence and regulatory compliance. You’ll be responsible for ensuring service delivery meets both company standards and FCA requirements, while adding real value to a diverse client portfolio.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
