This is a rare, entrepreneurial opportunity for an ambitious, established Terrorism Underwriter to spearhead the launch and build-out of a global Terrorism portfolio within a newly established Lloyd’s syndicate.
Reporting directly to the Deputy Chief Underwriting Officer, you will have full autonomy to shape the underwriting strategy, establish technical pricing framework standards, and drive broker distribution from the ground up. This role is ideally suited for a high-performing senior underwriter or designated 'number two' who has reached a career ceiling in their current division and is ready to transition into full portfolio ownership.
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.
