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.
The opportunity
This is much more than a traditional underwriting role.
You'll play an important part in developing and strengthening the insurer's High Net Worth proposition, working on complex cases and building trusted relationships with brokers, advisers, reinsurers and internal stakeholders.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Underwrite complex, high-value life insurance applications, considering both medical and financial risks.
- Work closely with brokers and advisers to help progress large and complex cases.
- Collaborate with reinsurers to secure successful placements.
- Partner with sales teams to develop tailored underwriting solutions.
- Provide technical guidance and support to colleagues across the business.
- Mentor and develop less experienced underwriters.
- Contribute ideas and improvements that help shape the future of the HNW offering.
What we're looking for
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong, established experience in Life Underwriting.
- Confidence assessing complex medical and financial risks.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- The ability to influence stakeholders and find solutions to challenging cases.
- A proactive, commercially minded approach to underwriting.
- An interest in supporting and developing others.
Previous HNW experience would be advantageous, but it is absolutely not essential.
We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced Life Underwriters who are ready for a new challenge and would enjoy stepping into a more specialist, influential role.
Why consider this role?
It's not often you find an opportunity offering this combination of technical challenge, career development, complete remote working and genuine flexibility.
You'll be joining a business recognised as one of the UK's best places to work, with a fantastic team, supportive leadership and a culture where people are trusted, valued and encouraged to succeed.
If you're happy in your current role but curious about what else might be out there, this is definitely one worth exploring.
