Build a SOC from the ground up.
We're working with a growing technology business that's launching a brand-new 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Network Operations Centre (NOC) after securing a major body of work. If you're looking for another job where you'll inherit years of legacy processes and simply monitor alerts, this probably isn't it.
If you want to help build something from the beginning, develop your cyber security career and be part of a business that's investing heavily in its people, keep reading.
You'll be joining the team right at the start of its journey.
Initially, you'll be responsible for:
- Monitoring alerts
- Triaging incidents
- Communicating with customers
- Escalating issues to the appropriate technical teams
As the SOC/NOC grows, so will the role. There will be genuine opportunities to broaden your experience across cyber security, cloud and infrastructure while helping shape how the service operates.
We're open to speaking with people from a range of technical backgrounds, including:
- SOC Analyst
- NOC Analyst
- Infrastructure Engineer
- Network Engineer
- 2nd / 3rd Line Support
- Technical Support Engineer
- Cyber Security Analyst
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.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme
Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll ideally have around two years' commercial experience, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and be confident speaking with customers when incidents occur.
Experience with security monitoring tools, networking or Check Point technologies would be beneficial, but we're just as interested in attitude, communication skills and a willingness to learn.
Candidates must be eligible to undergo UK security clearance.
There are plenty of SOC roles on the market but very few give you the chance to help build the function from day one. This business has a fantastic reputation for developing people. Several of its technical leaders started in junior positions before progressing into Cloud, AI, Cyber Security and Leadership roles.
You'll also receive:
- £32,000-£37,000 basic salary
- 20% shift allowance
- Private healthcare
- Unlimited annual leave
- Fully funded Microsoft certifications and technical training
- Clear progression opportunities
- The chance to work alongside experienced Cloud, Cyber and Infrastructure teams

Working Pattern - predominantly office-based working on a 4 on 4 off rotating 12-hour days and nights
Whether you're already working in a SOC or you're looking to make the move from infrastructure, networking or technical support into cyber security operations, I'd love to have a confidential chat.
