About Catalyst Acoustics Group

Catalyst Acoustics Group (CAG) is a mid-market manufacturer of noise-control and vibration control products, operating a family of brands (Kinetics Noise Control, Sound Seal, IAC Acoustics, Frasch, Lamvin, Noise Barriers, RealAcoustix, Madrid, CurbTech, and Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories) across roughly a dozen U.S. sites, with the Dublin, OH Kinetics campus as our technology hub. We run a cloud-first Microsoft 365 / Azure environment backed by a managed security provider (Paragus). Security is being established as its own dedicated function within Technology.

Role summary

We are seeking an Information Security Manager — a hands-on player-coach who will both run the security program and do the operational security work. This is the senior owner of CAG's information-security function: you set the roadmap, governance, and reporting, and you also personally respond to incidents, tune the tooling, and work the queue. It is a single-owner role (no direct reports at the outset), leveraging our managed provider (Paragus co-managed SOC) for scale rather than an internal team.

This role is the permanent successor to CAG's summer security internship, which concludes in August 2026. It assumes senior ownership of the three functions the intern ran day-to-day — security ticket triage, the KnowBe4 awareness program, and Huntress EDR response — and adds the program governance, risk/compliance, and leadership reporting that a manager owns. A clean handoff package from the intern will be available.

You will report to the VP, Technology and partner across IT, HR, Operations, and the brands, plus manage security vendors and the co-managed SOC relationship.
