VP Engineering - High Growth InsurTech SaaS Start Up/Scale Up - London / Hybrid
£150k - £185k (DOE) + Equity
This is not a corporate VP Engineering role.
This is a hands-on engineering transformation opportunity inside a founder-led SaaS business entering a major scale phase. The company has built strong commercial momentum and is now entering the next stage of growth. The challenge is no longer proving market demand — it is scaling engineering maturity, delivery capability, and operational performance fast enough to support what comes next.
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.

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.
This is a role for someone who has lived through the growing pains of scaling SaaS businesses before. Someone who has taken the hills and knows firsthand what growing pains look like.
This is not a “sit above the business and manage strategy decks” VP position. The successful candidate will be close to the detail, close to the founders, and close to execution.
You do not need to be the strongest hands-on engineer in the room. However, you do need to be technically credible enough to command respect, challenge teams, drive standards, and make strong operational decisions inside modern SaaS engineering environments.
