A well-established insurance advisory business is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Employee Benefits Consultant as part of its continued growth.
This is a client-facing, commercially focused role for someone who has built strong corporate client relationships and wants the platform, support and time to grow properly.
The role will involve advising corporate clients across areas such as:
- Group risk
- Private medical insurance
- Income protection
- Group life
- Critical illness
- Workplace pensions
- Salary sacrifice
- Flexible benefits
- Wellbeing and absence management
You do not need to be a technical expert in every area. The business has experienced support around you, including coordinators and colleagues with specialist knowledge across different areas of employee benefits.
What matters most is that you are credible with clients, commercially aware, and able to win, grow and retain strong corporate relationships.
This is not a short-term, “sink or swim” new business role. The business takes a sensible long-term view on senior hires and understands that good consultants often need time to build momentum, particularly where restrictive covenants are involved.
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.
There is existing employee benefits business within the firm, as well as significant opportunity to develop new work through the wider commercial insurance client base. Internal colleagues are encouraged to introduce opportunities, with marketing, development and technical support available.
You will probably already be working as an Employee Benefits Consultant, Senior Consultant, Corporate Benefits Consultant or similar.
You are likely to have experience of:
- Managing corporate employee benefits clients
- Acting as the lead adviser or main relationship holder
- Winning and developing new business
- Retaining and growing client accounts
- Presenting to HR, Finance Directors, business owners or senior leadership teams
- Working across group risk, healthcare, pensions or wider benefits solutions
Qualifications are welcomed, but they are not the main driver. Strong relevant experience, client credibility and a proven track record are more important.
