🔐 Security Operations Manager | Up to £90,000 + Bonus | Milton Keynes – Hybrid
I’m working with a large UK organisation that is continuing to invest significantly in its Cyber Security capability and is looking for a Security Operations Manager to play a key role in the next stage of its journey.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing an established SOC. You’ll have the opportunity to develop and mature the Security Operations capability, leading an internal team alongside third-party security providers.
The role will cover:
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.
