Who you’ll be working with
A leading global professional services organisation is looking for an experienced Zero Trust Security Architect to join its growing cybersecurity team. This is a Manager-level opportunity where you’ll work with enterprise clients to design and deliver modern Zero Trust security architectures, helping organisations move away from traditional VPN, proxy and perimeter-based security models.
What you’ll be doing
- Designing and implementing enterprise-scale Zero Trust security architectures across users, devices, applications and data.
- Developing security blueprints and reference architectures aligned to Zero Trust, NIST 800-207, SASE and SSE principles.
- Working hands-on with technologies such as Zscaler ZIA, ZPA, ZDX and Client Connector.
- Designing secure access solutions using SSO, MFA, device posture and least-privilege principles.
- Integrating Zero Trust platforms with identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta or Ping, alongside SIEM/SOAR and endpoint security platforms.
- Supporting the migration of legacy VPN, proxy and firewall solutions towards modern cloud-native security models.
- Leading proof-of-concepts, technical validation and security architecture assessments.
- Providing architectural governance, threat modelling and security guidance across client projects.
- Working with senior stakeholders to shape Zero Trust strategies and long-term security roadmaps.
- Providing technical leadership and mentoring to security and networking teams.
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.
