About Us

Secarma is a cybersecurity consultancy on a mission to make the world a safer place. We help businesses protect themselves from cyber threats through penetration testing, security advisory and certification services.

Our culture is collaborative, supportive and driven by curiosity. We invest heavily in developing our people because we believe that great teams deliver the best outcomes for our clients.

Role Overview

We are currently recruiting our next wave of Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to join a growing sales team. This role is ideal for someone looking to build strong commercial foundations and develop long-term within an SDR function, supported by our sales training academy.

This role is focused on lead generation and booking high-quality meetings. It is designed to reward consistency, curiosity and skill development rather than quick wins or prior sales titles.

Your role will not involve direct selling initially. Instead, it is designed to build strong commercial foundations. Progression is structured and earned over time, with opportunities to move into senior SDR or sales roles once core skills are fully developed.

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.
