Unique Opportunity: IT Risk & Security Role

This is a unique opportunity to become the first dedicated IT Risk & Security hire within a professional services firm.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Head of IT, you'll be responsible for establishing and leading the firm's information security function from the ground up. This is a standalone, hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, building security frameworks, and making a real impact within the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leading the firm's journey to ISO 27001 certification
  • Developing the firm's security policies, governance, and risk framework
  • Managing supplier assurance and client security audits
  • Overseeing cyber risk and compliance activities
  • Working closely with the firm's managed service providers to continually strengthen its security posture
  • Ensuring security is embedded across the business as new technologies, including AI, continue to be adopted

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.
