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 you'll do
- Provide technical support throughout the sales cycle, from first conversation to close
- Run discovery calls, workshops and technical assessments with customers
- Design technically robust, commercially sound cyber security solutions, fully validated before they go to the customer
- Present solutions confidently, articulating business value and cost savings
- Own technical documentation: designs, network diagrams, statements of work
- Lead or co-lead RFP responses, with compelling technical and commercial proposals
- Act as presales subject matter expert on Focus Group's cyber product portfolio
What we're looking for
- Real depth in cyber security presales or technical consultancy specifically, ideally within an MSP or managed security services environment
- The confidence to be the most technically credible person in the room on security, not a generalist who also covers security
- Direct, hands-on experience scoping and presenting SOC services, penetration testing and vulnerability scanning as part of customer solutions
- Strong command of Microsoft 365 (including Defender), MDR/EDR and firewall technologies
- Working exposure to Cloudflare One and to compliance and certification frameworks, including Cyber Essentials/CE+, as a baseline expectation rather than a bonus
- Skilled at translating risk and technical detail for a business owner who isn't security-literate, without losing substance for a technical stakeholder
- A history of writing commercial proposals that hold up to scrutiny on design and pricing, ideally including RFPs where security was the deciding factor
