The Arsenal (Core Responsibilities)
- Execute sophisticated security assessments across client environments
- Develop and maintain targeted Attack Plans aligned to bespoke Attack Hypotheses
- Build and maintain strong client relationships as a technical point of contact
- Create actionable, threat-based reports that drive real security improvement
- Perform security assessments across multiple domains: networks, applications, operating systems, and mobile platforms
- Master both manual and automated tooling to enhance attack capabilities
- Contribute actively to our internal knowledge base and client communities
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.
