The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Development Underwriter to join a growing insurance business across the South West.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced underwriter who is commercially minded, confident dealing with brokers and, most importantly, has a proven ability to develop and grow a profitable book of business.
You don’t need to be tied to one specific product line. We’re open to candidates with experience across multiple classes of commercial insurance who can demonstrate that they are a strong developer with the drive to build relationships and win business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Strong commercial underwriting experience across one or multiple product lines.
- A proven track record of business development and portfolio growth.
- Excellent broker and intermediary relationships across the South West.
- The ability to identify opportunities and turn them into profitable business.
- Strong technical underwriting knowledge combined with a genuine commercial mindset.
- Experience across areas such as Property, Casualty, Motor, SME, Commercial Combined, Financial Lines or other commercial classes.
