Job Title: Senior / Principal Cyber Security Consultant
Location: Hereford / Hybrid
Salary: £70,000 - £80,000
Bonus: Absolutely
This isn’t a paper-pushing compliance gig either. You’ll be advising defence and critical national infrastructure clients - the sort of places where “oops” isn’t an acceptable incident response plan.
You’ll be helping these organisations protect their ICT investments and defend against the kind of threats that don’t usually make the news (and shouldn’t).
And yes, that means you’ll need to have or be eligible for UK Government Security Clearance. If you hold Green Badge / DV clearance, we definitely need to talk.
What you’ll actually be doing (instead of pretending to on PowerPoint):
- Helping public defence and critical national infrastructure organisations not get pwned.
- Working on projects where security isn’t a bolt-on - it’s mission-critical.
- Owning the Secure by Design function
- Writing risk assessments and security assurance documentation people will actually read.
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.
You’ll fit in if you:
- Have 5+ years of experience working with complex ICT systems
- Can hold your own in a room full of stakeholders, whether they’re techies, suits, or someone from MOD who’s still using Windows 7.
- Know what Secure by Design / CSMv4 is without having to Google it mid-meeting.
- Understand System/Security architecture and aren’t allergic to acronyms like TOGAF, SABSA or NIST.
- Have a solid understanding of the likes of Information Assurance and Risk Advisory
What we’re really looking for:
- You’ve worked in Defence or Critical Infrastructure. And you didn’t just drop in for a 2-week discovery workshop.
- You understand that cyber risk isn’t just about patching stuff - it’s about understanding mission impact.
- You’re a grown-up. You can work independently and still be part of a team. You get the job done, even when it’s messy.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What’s in it for you:
- Interesting work that actually matters.
- Training that actually leads to certifications, not just a dusty Udemy login.
- Routes into Principal / Chartered status with the UK Cyber Security Council, and support for accreditations like CISSP, CISM, SABSA, TOGAF, CREST and so on.
The bottom line:
If your idea of a “cyber security role” involves shouting “have you tried turning it off and on again?” then this isn’t for you.
You will sometimes need to be on site 4 days a week and will need to be minimum SC cleared with eligibility for DV clearance.
But if you’re serious about securing the systems that keep the UK running - from defence comms to critical national infrastructure - then let’s talk.
