Job title: Commercial Business Development Executive
Salary: £Competitive + Commission
Location: South West, UK (Remote with regional travel)
PURPOSE OF ROLE
Are you a driven and experienced Commercial Insurance professional ready for your next challenge? We are looking for a New Business Account Executive to join our growing team in the South West and play a key role in expanding our Commercial portfolio.
This is a newly created role driven by ongoing growth and recent investment. You’ll focus on developing mid-market commercial clients (£10k+ premiums) across the South West, supported by a prospect list, high-value industry memberships, and strong internal resources.
You’ll enjoy genuine autonomy — no geographical boundaries, no class-of-business restrictions, and the freedom to manage your book your way. Work fully remotely with the option to use a local office, and build your pipeline with quality prospecting data and insights.
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.
