Valayo is working with a leading London Market insurer on an opportunity to join their established Capital Modelling team at Manager level.
This is a broad capital role combining technical modelling, strategic model use and senior stakeholder exposure, with the opportunity to take ownership of key areas of the Internal Model and help shape how capital analysis is used across the business.
A major focus is model use. You'll work closely with teams across Underwriting, Reinsurance, Investment and Risk, using capital analysis to support decisions around portfolio mix, reinsurance structures, investment strategy and wider business growth.
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.
