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.

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.

Client Strategy and Solutions

Play an active role in developing innovative underwriting and claims solutions for key PMF clients, fostering a client-focused and growth-orientated culture. This includes collaborating with Strategic Analytics, UnderwriteMe, Pricing and Client Solutions with a Deal Team mentality to produce desired outcomes.
Contribute to market strategy by supporting key marketing, business development, and pricing activities including the use of UnderwriteMe data.
Maintain a strong knowledge of all aspects of UnderwriteMe products and strategy and contribute to the execution of UnderwriteMe’s strategy.
In collaboration with UnderwriteMe, deliver on the Future of Underwriting and Claims visions including claims engine implementations and supporting the development of the AI Engine.

Qualifications & Experience

Experience handling underwriting for all major products.
Competent user status for MS Word, MS Excel and MS Outlook or similar email product.
Good working knowledge of Life insurance industry regulations.
