Build the relationships and market momentum behind a new commercial fleet MGA - without compromising the quality of the portfolio.
Why Reli
We are setting a new standard in commercial fleet insurance by pricing and mitigating risks proactively, and making safer fleets better business for everyone. Trusted by market leaders. Powered by extraordinary talent and technology.
Reli is an insurance MGA, co-founded with the world's largest logistics company and built to solve the real problems and needs of commercial fleet operators and the wider insurance ecosystem. We combine insurance expertise with technology across fleet risk, loss prevention, pricing, underwriting, claims, and operations. Technology helps us improve everything we do as an MGA, remove low-value work, and be more present for clients, brokers, and partners.
Why this role matters
Build profitable, trusted commercial fleet growth in the UK by winning the right clients and distribution relationships, running disciplined sales execution, and protecting long-term portfolio quality.
You will win the right commercial fleet clients and distribution relationships while helping shape how Reli enters and grows in the UK. This is not volume at any cost: strong discovery, disciplined selection, deep partnership, and long-term trust matter as much as conversion. We will not be right for every potential client.
Our broker and partner standard: Brokers and distribution partners are central to how we reach the right fleets. We want to build extraordinary relationships through trust, curiosity, value generation, responsiveness, and reliability.
What you will make happen
- Deliver the approved UK growth plan: Build and convert a high-quality pipeline; deliver bound premium and contribution against plan with a suitable risk mix.
- Protect sales quality and underwriting discipline: Ensure high intake quality, work directly with our underwriters in a joint effort to win healthy business, and support clients, brokers, and partners in getting the service they deserve.
- Build trusted market relationships: Create priority broker, client, and partner relationships through strong discovery, reliable follow-through, reducing friction, and clean cross-functional cooperation.
- Create a predictable, data-led sales system: Maintain pipeline and stage discipline, credible forecasts, conversion insight, reusable outreach, and automation rather than relying on individual heroics.
- Strengthen Reli beyond the individual pipeline: Share market learning, coach where useful, and turn commercial feedback into better underwriting, product, and client decisions.
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.
What you will own
- Prospecting, relationship building, opportunity prioritization, and negotiation within approved parameters; escalate pricing, coverage, authority, or cross-functional commitments outside scope. You will work closely with clients, brokers, and distribution partners; Underwriting, Client, Product, Operations, and directly with our founders, all working to enable you to succeed every day.
What you will bring
- UK commercial fleet insurance distribution
- Broker, partner, and client relationship building
- Commercial/risk trade-off judgement
- Pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM discipline
- Negotiation, communication, and market learning
How you work:
- Commercial ambition with discipline; outcome ownership, and reliable follow-through
- Evidence-led judgement and early escalation; co-owner collaboration and shared learning
We care more about evidence of outcomes, judgement, and learning than a perfectly linear career or identical previous title. You do not need to match every line to apply.
The working reality
You will be creating pipeline, relationships, and repeatable commercial discipline in an early market. Priorities will move, not every opportunity will fit our appetite, and you will sometimes need to slow a deal down or walk away to protect long-term value. Other times you will need to bring your very best to close the ideal client fast.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This is unlikely to suit someone who relies on a mature brand, a large lead-generation machine, or individual heroics, or who sees underwriting discipline as an obstacle to selling. For the salesperson looking for short-term returns, this is not it.
High trust. High care. High output. We give capable people meaningful freedom and context, and expect them to own outcomes. Care means supporting colleagues, clients, brokers, and partners, giving direct feedback, and addressing problems early. Output means solving the right problems fast to a high standard.
Join as a co-owner
We are looking for people who want to join in and act as co-owners - taking responsibility for the whole company, improving what sits beyond their immediate remit, and helping others succeed. The package includes a competitive fixed salary, participation in Reli's company-wide bonus structure, and participation in our stock option programme (VSOP). The VSOP gives team members the opportunity to participate in potential long-term value they help create.
Apply
Start with the role-specific application form and complete our "Reality Check". The "Reality Check" is part of the application and gives you an honest view of the situations, expectations, and choices you may meet at Reli. Are we the right fit for you?
Application and "Reality Check": Careers at Reli
The remaining process is: introductory phone conversation - Culture Fit Interview - Function Fit Interview - references - final decision and offer. Reli welcomes different backgrounds and career paths. We will make reasonable adjustments to help candidates participate fully in the process.
