About This Role
We are recruiting a Director to join our Insurance team in Corporate Finance.
The Insurance Corporate Finance team advises clients across the insurance value chain. This includes work with balance-sheet carriers on corporate finance transactions such as M&A, divestments, capital raisings (including sidecars and other risk-capital vehicles), and supporting alternative asset managers entering the insurance market.
In parallel, the team has a strong focus on insurance distribution, services and InsurTech, advising private business owners and private equity investors on buy-side and sell-side M&A. The team is active across both the UK and European markets and is deeply embedded in the evolving strategic, regulatory and capital themes shaping the sector.
The Insurance Corporate Finance team is part of our wider Financial Services Lead Advisory & Restructuring team, which brings together deep sector expertise across two specialist groups (Private Credit Solutions and Insurance).
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.
