Your new organisation
I am recruiting for a Senior Security Analyst to join a well-established organisation undergoing continued investment in its cyber security capabilities and digital services. This role reports directly to the CISO and sits within a growing security function responsible for protecting a complex hybrid environment spanning on-premises infrastructure, cloud platforms and supplier-managed services.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced cyber security professional who enjoys a blend of security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, security assurance and stakeholder engagement. You will play a key role in improving security controls, reducing organisational risk and enhancing cyber resilience across the business.
The role responsibilities
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.
