Do you know the high hazard market well enough that brokers call you before they call anyone else?
We are exclusively partnering with a well-regarded, entrepreneurial MGU that is launching a High Hazard proposition and is looking for a Development Underwriter to play a key role in its success from day one.
This isn't a maintenance underwriting role. It's an opportunity to build a portfolio, develop broker partnerships and become one of the recognised faces in the market behind a new proposition backed by significant underwriting expertise, strong insurer capacity and long-term investment.
The business operates at a high level, combining the agility of an MGA with the infrastructure, underwriting capability and financial strength of a much larger organisation.
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.
In short:
- Be part of a brand-new High Hazard proposition from day one
- Significant underwriting authority with the autonomy to trade commercially
- Build your own portfolio rather than simply maintaining an existing account
- Work within an entrepreneurial MGU that values underwriting expertise over process
- Well-funded platform with established infrastructure and long-term backing
- Flexible location with a genuine UK-wide broker trading remit
The Role
- Develop profitable new business across high hazard commercial risks
- Build and strengthen relationships with UK retail insurance brokers
- Underwrite and negotiate complex Property & Casualty risks across the key higher hazard trades
- Become a recognised market presence for the business within your region
