Principal Security Researcher
microsoft
Catalyst Acoustics Group
Department:Technology
Reports to:VP, Technology (David Crandall)
Direct reports:None initially (program is MSP-backed — Paragus co-managed SOC)
Primary location:Boston or Chicago metro preferred; Columbus, OH (Dublin/Kinetics hub), Remote
Travel:Occasional, across CAG's U.S. sites
Type:Permanent full-time employee
FLSA status:Exempt
Comp reference:$120,000–$155,000 base + up to 10% bonus
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.
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.
Scope covers IT and information security across CAG’s cloud-first Microsoft 365 / Azure environment; operational-technology (OT) systems on the plant floor are addressed in partnership with Operations.
