Employee Benefits Manager

An established professional services firm is seeking an Employee Benefits Manager to join its growing Employee Benefits team. Known for its collaborative culture and client-focused approach, the business supports employers in delivering competitive, well-designed pensions and benefits solutions across a diverse client base.

About the Role

Working within a high-performing team, you will manage a portfolio of SME clients, acting as a trusted adviser across pensions and wider employee benefits. You will take ownership of client relationships, provide strategic and technical guidance, and support the delivery of benefit solutions including workplace pensions, group risk, and health and wellbeing. You will also contribute to new business activity, from initial pitch through to onboarding, as well as developing opportunities within existing client 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.
