Stockport (with some travel - UK) | Hybrid working (2 days in office / 3 from home)

We are supporting a global insurance business with the appointment of a Cyber Security Operations Manager into a highly visible leadership role.

The focus is on operational leadership, stakeholder management, and acting as the face of the Cyber Security Operations function internally.

You’ll lead a team covering:

  • Vulnerability management
  • EDR
  • Incident response
  • Phishing
  • Monitoring
  • Wider security operations activity

You’ll partner closely with senior stakeholders across the business and global technology teams.

The environment is fast-paced and high-pressure, so they are looking for someone already operating at this level who can bring structure, maturity, and strong people leadership across a mixed-experience team.

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.
