🚨 We’re Hiring | International Cyber Security SME šŸŒšŸ”

Mastek is looking for a highly skilled International Cyber Security SME to bring deep expertise in cyber resilience, assurance, and technical advisory across global programmes.

This role is ideal for professionals who thrive on solving complex cyber challenges and influencing strategic security decisions in regulated, international environments.

Role purpose

The International Cyber Security SME provides deep subject matter expertise across cyber resilience, assurance and technical advisory services. The role is responsible for leading complex assessments, shaping control improvements, advising on incident management and technical resilience, and providing specialist input into international service delivery and client decision-making.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide expert cyber security input across risk management, information assurance, technical controls, emerging technologies, incident management and resilience improvement.
  • Lead detailed assessments against frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials, CAF and NIS.
  • Identify control gaps, non-conformities, vulnerabilities and resilience weaknesses, and develop practical remediation recommendations.
  • Support the design and review of security architectures, control environments, operating procedures and technical resilience measures.
  • Advise on incident response planning, playbooks, lessons learned and improvements to security operations and resilience capability.
  • Contribute to client reporting, technical papers, assurance outputs and stakeholder briefings.
  • Review and quality assure deliverables produced by advisors and support staff.
  • Support service adaptation in response to evolving threat, regulatory and operational requirements.

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.
