Here, you’ll be part of a team that leverages world-class analytics and deep reinsurance expertise to deliver strategic advisory services and transactional excellence. Together, we transform advanced insights and market intelligence into strategies that protect businesses, drive performance, and shape the future of reinsurance. We’re a community of decision makers, future shapers, and trusted experts working side by side to deliver meaningful impact through innovative thinking and practical solutions.

Overview
Gallagher Re is seeking a dynamic and proactive professional to join the UK & Ireland Actuarial team in London, where brokers, actuaries, account handlers, and catastrophe modellers collaborate to deliver exceptional results. As one of the largest broking teams in the industry, we placed over £800 million of XOL premium at the recent 1.1 renewals alone. By joining us, you'll have the opportunity to work with a large and diverse client base, delivering analytical expertise across both long and short tail lines of business to clients ranging from established blue-chips to innovative start-up MGAs.
Together with our brokers, who bring an extensive knowledge of the market, and together with them, you will engage with reinsurers to share analytics, support their decision-making, and challenge their assumptions.
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 team values collaboration, actively encourages the development of innovative ideas, and is committed to fostering an engaging and supportive work environment. For example, you may leverage insights from our extensive bodily injury claims database to drive data-led analytics, or explore how legislative or social changes impact our clients' claims experience. Be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team that’s a market leader in the industry.
