Security Architect
A leading international professional services organisation is seeking an experienced Security Architect in London. This is a senior, hands-on architecture position with genuine ownership of the organisation’s technology security strategy, roadmap and standards.
This role will see you acting as the technical authority for cyber security, owning security architecture across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments. You’ll take security designs from strategy and roadmap through to execution, while working closely with senior technology leadership, Information Security, Risk, Compliance and Legal teams.
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.

Requirements
The successful candidate will be an established Security Architect (not someone making their first move into architecture). You’ll need strong experience across:
- Azure security
- IAM and PAM
- Zero Trust
- SASE/SSE
- Threat modelling
- Enterprise security architecture
Experience establishing security governance around AI and emerging technologies will also be particularly relevant.
This would particularly suit someone who has operated within a law firm, professional services, financial services or another highly regulated enterprise environment and is comfortable influencing senior stakeholders while remaining technically credible.
