Your new company
A well-established and growing London Market insurance broker is seeking to appoint an experienced Senior Financial Lines Claims Handler to join its specialist claims function. The business operates across a broad range of complex and international risks, placing business into both Lloyd's and the company market. With a strong reputation for technical expertise and client service, the organisation offers a collaborative and professional working environment.
Your new role
In this position, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of Financial Lines claims, with a particular focus on Professional Indemnity risks across both domestic and international placements. You will handle claims from first notification through to settlement, ensuring that each case is progressed efficiently while maintaining a high level of service throughout the lifecycle.
- Work closely with a range of stakeholders including clients, insurers, loss adjusters, and legal representatives, providing clear guidance on claims strategy, coverage interpretation, and resolution.
- Contribute to the wider success of the team by providing technical input, supporting less experienced colleagues, and ensuring consistent delivery of best practice standards within the claims function.
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.
