🚨 Security Operations Manager | £81k–£86k + 15% Bonus 📍 Milton Keynes / London | Hybrid – 2 days per week
I’m currently recruiting for a Security Operations Manager to join an organisation going through an exciting period of investment and growth across its Cyber Security function. This isn’t a role where you’ll simply inherit a mature SecOps environment and keep things ticking over.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape, improve and mature the Security Operations capability, taking ownership of key areas including:
- Incident Response – owning and developing the end-to-end process
- Vulnerability Management – improving visibility, remediation and processes
- SOC / MSSP – managing and challenging the outsourced security capability
- Security Monitoring – improving detection, alerting and response
- Microsoft Security – Sentinel, Defender/XDR, Purview and the wider E5 stack
- Cloud Security – improving security visibility and integrations across cloud environments
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.
