About the Company
Our client is a well-established and highly regarded insurer with a strong presence in the commercial lines market. Known for their technical underwriting approach and a collaborative team culture, they offer genuine autonomy and a clear pathway for career progression.
About the Role
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Commercial Underwriter to join at Senior level within a high-performing underwriting team. You'll take ownership of a diverse cross-class commercial portfolio, manage key broker relationships, and act as a technical referral point for the wider team, handling the larger, more complex risks that require real underwriting expertise.
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.
