Security Clearance: Must be eligible for SC Clearance

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Security Operations Analyst to join a busy and fast-paced security team. This is a hands-on 2nd/3rd line SecOps role focused on monitoring, investigation, and response activities across a complex enterprise environment.

You'll be responsible for managing security alerts, conducting investigations, and supporting incident response activities, helping to protect critical systems and services. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys operational security and incident management rather than dedicated threat hunting.

Key Responsibilities

  • Monitor, triage, and investigate security alerts and incidents.
  • Perform detailed analysis of security events and suspicious activity.
  • Lead and support incident response activities, including containment, remediation, and recovery.
  • Utilise Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender to detect and respond to threats.
  • Support and maintain security monitoring use cases and detection capabilities.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, cloud, and support teams to resolve security issues.
  • Produce investigation reports and provide recommendations to improve security posture.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of security operations processes and procedures.
  • Act as an escalation point for complex security incidents and investigations.

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.
