Are you a Property & Casualty Underwriter looking for something beyond the standard mid-market proposition?
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected Insurer where you'll have the freedom to trade, make decisions, and underwrite a diverse portfolio of new business risks that are far from "vanilla". Working closely with an established broker network, you'll assess and negotiate complex Property & Casualty opportunities, with premiums typically ranging from £5,000 through to £250,000+, giving you exposure to larger and more challenging cases that will genuinely develop your underwriting expertise.
As a Senior New Business Underwriter, you'll play a key part in driving profitable growth across a varied portfolio of commercial risks. You'll be empowered to build strong broker relationships, negotiate effectively, and apply sound underwriting judgement to secure quality business while maintaining profitability. This is a role for someone who enjoys the commercial side of underwriting and wants to be visible in the market rather than sitting behind a desk processing transactions.
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Beyond underwriting, you'll be recognised as a senior member of the team, providing guidance and technical support to colleagues, acting as a referral point, and helping develop less experienced underwriters. You'll also contribute to underwriting standards, process improvements, broker engagement strategies, and wider business initiatives, ensuring the team continues to deliver exceptional service and technical excellence.
To be considered you will need to have existing Commercial Property & Casualty underwriting experience. You'll be a confident trader and negotiator with excellent broker relationship skills, a strong understanding of risk assessment, and the ability to balance growth with profitability. Experience coaching, mentoring or supporting the development of colleagues would be particularly valuable.
