Business Information Security Consultant
£700 Per Day Inside IR35 | 6 Months | London Hybrid
A leading Financial Services organisation is seeking a Business Information Security Consultant to support cyber security oversight across a highly regulated environment. Acting as a key security partner across the business, technology and cyber functions, you will be responsible for assessing, challenging and overseeing cyber security risks, supporting regulatory deliverables and ensuring security controls remain effective. This is a hands-on role that combines broad technical cyber security knowledge with strong governance, risk and compliance (GRC) expertise. You'll engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, providing practical challenge and guidance across a range of cyber security domains including PAM, IAM, vulnerability management, emerging technologies and cyber risk reporting.
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.
