Job Title: Employee Benefits Consultant
Location: Bristol
Salary: £40,000–£50,000, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate
Benefits:
- Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
- Ongoing professional development and qualification support
- Clear career progression opportunities
About the Company:
An established, independent financial services group is investing significantly in the growth of its Employee Benefits division. The business supports a diverse portfolio of corporate clients and is developing a joined-up proposition spanning Workplace Pensions, Healthcare, Group Risk, salary sacrifice, employee engagement, and wider financial wellbeing.
This is an opportunity to join a small, collaborative team at an important stage of its development, with genuine scope to influence how the proposition evolves.
Role Summary:
This is a heavily client-facing position with Workplace Pensions at its core. You will take ownership of existing schemes, deliver technical and governance reviews, and help develop the firm's Workplace Pensions proposition as the client base grows.
The remit goes considerably wider than pensions. You'll work across Healthcare, Group Risk, and a broader range of Employee Benefits solutions, identifying where clients could benefit from additional support and helping develop long-term relationships.
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.

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.
For someone who enjoys combining technical knowledge with commercial responsibility, this offers the opportunity to make the role your own rather than simply inherit a fixed portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the Workplace Pensions proposition: Manage existing schemes and help develop a growing area of the business, giving you significant influence over its future direction.
- Deliver pension governance and technical reviews: Produce and present annual Workplace Pension Governance Reviews while providing clients with clear, ongoing advice and support.
- Develop SME client relationships: Work directly with decision-makers to understand their wider people and benefits challenges and become a trusted point of contact.
- Support wider Employee Benefits: Work across Healthcare, Group Risk, salary sacrifice, wellbeing, and employee engagement solutions, creating broader exposure than a traditional insured-benefits position.
- Identify new business opportunities: Manage inbound opportunities and proactively identify appropriate cross-sell opportunities across Employee Benefits and the wider group.
- Help shape a growing division: Work closely with senior leadership to improve the proposition, support future growth, and contribute ideas as the team expands.
