Aspiring Financial Adviser

Financial Adviser – Let’s Write Africa’s Story Together!

Old Mutual is a firm believer in the African opportunity and our diverse talent reflects this.

About the Role

Join Old Mutual, one of Africa’s leading insurance companies, as a Financial Adviser – a dynamic role where passion, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit drive our success.

We are looking for self-motivated individuals who thrive in a customer-centric environment and see financial planning as both science and art.

Key Responsibilities

  • Champion valued customers by helping them achieve lifetime financial goals.
  • Identify financial needs and align with bespoke solutions.
  • Provide sound financial advice.
  • Recommend and implement fit-for-purpose financial plans and solutions.
  • Build long-term, trusting relationships that reward clients both now and in the future.

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.
