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.

  • Checking calculations for non-standard individual cases
  • Ensuring policyholder option pricing delivers fair value for customers
  • Working closely with developers, end users and change professionals
  • Specifying and testing developments to policyholder option calculation tools

Who we're looking for:

  • Part-qualified pensions actuary, who is making good progress through the IFoA Exams
  • Experience applying actuarial principles to UK Defined Benefit pension schemes
  • Good knowledge of member/policyholder options
  • Experience validating, reviewing and testing actuarial systems or calculation tools
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative working style
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Proactive approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities concurrently

Benefits

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

  • Competitive family leave
  • Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice
  • There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
