Graduate Trainee Contract Analyst

Avocet Commercial Careers  is recruiting for a unique Graduate opportunity with a progressive commercial insurance consultancy based in Exeter. This SME is experiencing rapid growth as they continue to forge ahead, and they are seeking an exceptional Graduate to join their team.   Situated in the heart of Exeter, this position offers a dynamic and fast-track career pathway, a comprehensive training program, and the chance to become a specialist in insurance contract analysis and risk assessment.

• A collaborative approach to engaging across the broader team.
• The ability to own a problem from formulation to conclusion, driving progression and agreement at each stage.
• The desire to learn and continuously develop expertise.

Benefits

• Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 5:30pm with a “go home on time” culture encouraged.
• Competitive starting salary and generous annual bonuses (up to 20% of salary).
• Comprehensive training program to support career development.
• Genuine progression and career pathways structure within an ambitious and growing business.
