Chief Information Security Officer

Who We AreCatalyst Capital is a profitable, bootstrapped holding company building a diversified financial services group: education, publishing, software, wealth and tax planning tools, investment products and proprietary trading technology. Funded entirely from its own operating cash. We have never taken outside capital. The cash engine is Decentralized Masters, a DeFi education business that went from zero to 150+ people, 4,500+ paying members and roughly $48.6M of FY26 revenue at ~25% earnings before tax in four years. That engine funds everything else on this page. Role summaryCatalyst Capital is hiring its first Chief Information Security Officer to own security across every brand in the group. You will set the strategy, build the program, and personally run the response when something goes wrong. The job is two halves. Half is the core of a CISO's role: incident response, identity and access, vendor risk, phishing defense, policy and audit readiness, and the judgment calls only a person can own. The other half is making security AI-driven: mapping our full surface and building agentic systems that test, monitor and audit it with near-total coverage, so security keeps pace as more of the company runs on AI. This is a player-coach role: about half hands-on, leading a small team of engineers. You report to Group leadership, brief the leadership team monthly, and are the person they trust to explain risk in plain language and make the call under pressure. What you will own
