Campaign Lead – Defence & National Security
Location: Hampshire or Gloucester
Salary: £85,000 - £100,000 + DV bonus
Clearance: eDV or MOD DV
Shape the future of secure communications for UK Defence and National Security
Our client is a specialist technology company trusted by government, defence and critical infrastructure customers to keep the nation's most sensitive systems safe. They're now looking for a Campaign Lead to take ownership of their Cyber & Secure Communications domain and drive its next phase of growth.
This is a strategic leadership position at the intersection of technology, customer insight and commercial growth, where you'll set direction for a portfolio spanning secure end-user devices through to cyber test ranges, R&D, consultancy and rapid prototyping.
What you'll be doing
- Set and maintain a multi-year growth strategy for the domain, prioritising the customers, segments and opportunities that matter most, and acting as the final word on domain-level trade-offs and decisions.
- Build a deep, evidence-based understanding of customer missions and emerging threats, and become the go-to voice, internally and externally, on where this market is heading.
- Pull together a virtual team across sales, marketing, product, engineering and delivery. Align priorities, resolve conflicts, and turn many moving parts into one coherent, executable plan.
- Connect capability to customer need: Work with product and engineering to shape integrated solutions, influence the technology roadmap, and identify where investment should go next.
- Drive market engagement: Partner with marketing on positioning, go-to-market strategy and demand generation, then work with account teams to convert that into pipeline and won business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What we're looking for
- Deep domain knowledge of cyber security and secure communications, including the operational challenges facing defence, government and national security customers
- A track record of leading cross-functional or virtual teams and delivering results through influence rather than direct authority
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, with the judgement to make good calls on incomplete information
- Commercial acumen suited to long, complex sales cycles, including opportunity shaping and market development experience
- Excellent stakeholder management, negotiation and facilitation skills, with the ability to turn diverse input into a clear plan of action
