We exist to help businesses navigate an unpredictable world and we do that through the expertise, integrity and commitment of our people.

The Role

We are currently hiring for a Claims Examiner in our Manchester office to investigate, evaluate and manage insurance claims while delivering timely, cost-effective outcomes for our customers and partners.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Claims assessment: Review policy coverage, determine liability and compensability, and make informed coverage decisions.
  • Claims resolution: Manage claim lifecycles, set reserves, authorise payments and drive efficient, cost-effective settlements.
  • Investigation management: Gather and assess information from insureds, claimants, witnesses and external experts to support claim decisions.
  • Stakeholder engagement: Build strong relationships with brokers, legal counsel, underwriters, account representatives and insureds to achieve successful claim outcomes.
  • Reporting & compliance: Maintain accurate claims data, provide management reporting and ensure adherence to regulatory and legal requirements.

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.
