This role could suit either someone at Underwriter level currently looking to step up or someone who is already established at Senior Underwriter level looking for a new challenge, depending on the experience you bring. You’ll be working within the mid-market commercial space, underwriting a diverse range of P&C risks, and contributing directly to profitable regional growth. You’ll play a key role in developing strong trading relationships with a range of broker partners, balancing technical excellence with sound commercial judgement.
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.
