Group Risk & PMI Adviser

Manchester City Centre | Hybrid Working | £55,000 + Uncapped Commission | Six-Figure OTE Potential

Permanent | Full Time | 37.5 Hours Per Week

UK Staffing Group are delighted to be exclusively partnering with an established and rapidly growing insurance brokerage to recruit an experienced Group Risk & PMI Adviser.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Group Risk, Employee Benefits or Corporate Benefits professional who wants more than simply managing an existing portfolio.

The business has identified a significant opportunity to grow its Group Risk and Employee Benefits proposition and is looking for someone who can take ownership of this area, bring their expertise to the table and help shape what it becomes.

Why This Role?

  • You won't be joining a business and being asked to build a client base from nothing.
  • The business already benefits from an established broker and referral network which generates opportunities, giving you a strong platform from which to develop new business and grow revenue.
  • You'll become the Group Risk specialist within the business, working closely with SME and corporate clients and advising on a range of employee benefits solutions.
  • This is a specialist, commercially focused position rather than a management role. You'll have the opportunity to influence the direction of the proposition, make your mark and build something with the backing of an established brokerage.
  • And importantly, the earning potential reflects the opportunity, with a competitive basic salary of up to £55,000 plus uncapped commission and six-figure earnings achievable in year one.

The Role

As the Group Risk & PMI Adviser, you'll advise SME and corporate clients across:

  • Group Life Assurance
  • Group Income Protection
  • Group Critical Illness
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Wider Employee Benefits

You'll work with a panel of leading insurers to understand client requirements, source appropriate solutions and deliver recommendations that provide genuine value.

Alongside the technical side of the role, you'll be expected to play an important part in developing new business and converting opportunities into revenue.

You'll have the autonomy to build relationships, develop opportunities and use your market knowledge to help grow the Group Risk proposition.

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.

About You

We're looking for someone who already understands the Group Risk market and can combine technical knowledge with commercial ability.
