Graduate Underwriter

We are currently searching for ambitious graduates to join a leading speciality insurance & reinsurance company in their London office. This is an international organisation with over 175 years of heritage. Although they have an incredible amount of history, they are a very modern, innovative and passionate company with a very supportive and diverse culture.

We are looking for graduates to join our Underwriting team on a two-year rotational program. The successful candidate will be immersed in all parts of six underwriting teams (Property, Financial Lines, Specialty, General Liability, Marine and Energy and Reinsurance) and will gain the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to be a successful underwriter

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.
