The Role of an Insurance Broker

A role as an Insurance Broker is a great next step for any Senior Account Handler looking to become an Account Executive, (who doesn't fancy cold calling, cold outreach and pipeline building)

If you rate your ability to talk to clients, solve their insurance and risk challenges, in a fast-moving, growth-focused business, this role is worth exploring.

You'll be working with some of the UK's most dynamic businesses, start-ups, scale-ups, (nothing slow), no renewal meetings where nothing has changed.

This Broking business is similar to the clients it serves, fast-paced, innovative, growing, dynamic, flexible.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide Technical Expertise: Ask relevant questions to understand client needs and communicate effectively.
  • Highlight Gaps in Cover: Analyse existing insurance programs to identify potential gaps and offer solutions.
  • Design Bespoke Insurance Programs: Tailor policies to clients' specific risk profiles and business goals.
  • Structure Global Policies: Ensure compliance with international regulations and comprehensive coverage.
  • Handle Complex Programs: Manage intricate insurance needs, including London Market programs.
  • Upsell and Cross-Sell: Identify additional opportunities to enhance client coverage.
  • Showcase Sector Expertise: Stay informed on market trends, legislation, and industry best practices.
  • Advise on Risk Mitigation: Offer strategic guidance beyond insurance to manage overall risk.
  • Maintain Service Standards: Deliver exceptional client service, addressing issues promptly.

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.
