We’re looking for a Cyber Security Delivery Lead to support a CISO-led security uplift programme following an internal security audit. Whilst not hands-on you will need a technical understanding for this delivery-focused contract role, combining technical security enablement with governance and programme delivery.
Reporting directly to the CISO, you will act as the execution lead across a number of priority cyber initiatives, translating audit findings and business requirements into practical, deliverable security improvements.
The Role:
You will manage parts of a cyber security programme alongside core security activity, including:
- Microsoft onboarding to E5 (Defender, Identity, DLP, etc.)
- Privileged Access Management (PAM) and least-privilege controls
- Onboarding and operationalising security tooling
- Integrating tooling and logs into a SOC capability
- Delivering elements of a security governance programme (policies, controls, reporting)
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.
This role blends technical delivery, stakeholder engagement, and governance, with responsibility for driving outcomes rather than just planning activity.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead delivery of priority cyber security workstreams
- Own and coordinate Microsoft E5 security enablement
- Implement and mature PAM controls and processes
- Onboard, integrate, and tune security tools
- Support SOC onboarding, use cases, and response processes
- Develop and embed governance artefacts (policies, standards, controls)
- Capture requirements across business units and translate them into a delivery roadmap
- Track milestones, risks, dependencies, and outcomes
- Provide clear reporting to the CISO and senior stakeholders
