Why Grayce?

Grayce specialises in delivering change and transformation for some of the UK's most ambitious organisations. For over a decade, we have partnered with FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies to deploy high-performing early career talent across major programmes of work.

Our Accelerated Development Programme offers a structured, fast-track route into industry. You will gain hands-on experience working on business transformation initiatives, supporting stakeholders, improving processes, and contributing to large-scale change programmes.

You will typically work with one client at a time, delivering meaningful outcomes in a professional, client-facing environment. Alongside this, you will complete a minimum of six industry-recognised accreditations, with clear progression pathways and salary growth as you develop.

About The Opportunity

As part of Grayce's Accelerated Development Programme, this is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact security projects within an industry leading organisation.

Cyber security is no longer a niche concern - it's a business-critical priority. In fact, 43% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber-attack in the past year, with threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted. When working with critical infrastructure, the stakes are even higher. That's why we're looking for individuals who bring passion, curiosity, and attention to detail - qualities that are essential in staying one step ahead of cyber criminals.

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.
