Senior Information Assurance (IA) Consultant
We’re partnering with a growing consultancy to recruit a Senior Information Assurance (IA) Consultant to support a major client delivering critical systems within the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).
This is a high-impact role offering real autonomy, where you’ll play a key part in shaping accreditation and assurance across complex environments. While we are ideally seeking a permanent hire, we are also open to engaging associates with the right experience.
The Opportunity
If you understand how systems truly operate—across Windows, Linux, networking, and the full OSI stack—and can translate that into clear, evidence-led assurance, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It 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.
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 be joining a sharp, collaborative team while owning your own workstream and influencing critical security outcomes.
