Are you an experienced cyber security professional with a passion for Incident Response and Security Engineering and Threat Intelligence.

I'm working with a global organisation looking to add a Senior Cyber Defence Analyst to its Security Operations team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in responding to complex cyber incidents while helping to enhance detection capabilities, security tooling, automation, and overall cyber resilience.

What you'll be doing:

  • Investigate and respond to cyber security incidents across a global enterprise environment
  • Support major incident response activities, digital investigations, and post-incident reviews
  • Design, develop, and tune detection rules across SIEM, EDR, and SOAR platforms
  • Build dashboards, automation, playbooks, and response workflows to improve operational efficiency
  • Conduct proactive threat hunting and support intelligence-led investigations
  • Perform malware analysis and utilise sandboxing tools to investigate suspicious files and activity
  • Collaborate with Vulnerability Management, Threat Intelligence, and Security Operations teams to strengthen defensive capabilities
  • Drive continuous improvements across security processes, tooling, and detection coverage

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.
