Information Security Assurance Analyst
Southampton | Hybrid | Full-Time
Security is easy to talk about. Building assurance that stands up to regulatory scrutiny is considerably harder. That's why this role exists. Humans do enjoy creating increasingly complex systems, then hiring other humans to make sure they don't accidentally catch fire.
We're looking for an Information Security Assurance Analyst to join a highly regulated organisation where you'll help ensure security risks are understood, managed, and embedded across technology and business change.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working across governance and technical teams, balancing risk management with practical security assurance.
What you'll be doing
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.
