About CND
Computer Network Defence Ltd (CND) is a trusted and growing cyber security business, helping public and private sector clients tackle complex security challenges with confidence. As a certified B Corp, we are committed not only to high standards of professional excellence, but also to doing business in the right way for our people, our community, and the wider world. We combine deep technical expertise with a supportive, collaborative culture, giving our people the chance to do meaningful work, develop their careers, and make a visible impact.
About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and highly organised Bid Writer/Administrator to support the Bid Manager in delivering winning bids, tenders, and framework submissions across the business. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys writing persuasive content, coordinating multiple contributors, and helping turn opportunities into success. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want a role where your work will directly support business growth, this could be the perfect next step. Knowledge of IT or cyber security would be helpful, but it is not essential.
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.
