Job description

About DeepLock

DeepLock is building what many believe will become the next evolution of consumer security infrastructure: a unified protection platform combining digital security, real-world safety, emergency response, identity monitoring, privacy tools, home protection, and AI-driven threat intelligence into a single ecosystem.

Think:

• Uber-style real-time response systems
• Cybersecurity meets physical safety
• Privacy infrastructure for the AI era
• One-tap protection across online and offline life

The company is positioned at the intersection of:

• Consumer security
• AI-driven protection
• Emergency response technology
• Privacy infrastructure
• Cybersecurity
• Mobility & trust systems

We are looking for a high-agency CEO capable of helping transform DeepLock from an ambitious security platform into a globally recognised category-defining company.

Position Overview

The CEO will work directly with the founders and core shareholders to lead operational execution, fundraising support, strategic partnerships, market expansion, and long-term scaling of DeepLock.

This is not a “corporate manager” role.

This is a builder/operator role for someone capable of helping create a company that could define the future of personal security infrastructure.

The ideal candidate understands:

• startup execution,
• growth strategy,
• fundraising environments,
• product positioning,
• operational leadership,
• and high‑pressure scaling environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead day‑to‑day company operations
• Execute company growth strategy
• Assist in fundraising and investor relations
• Build strategic partnerships
• Help define DeepLock’s market positioning
• Coordinate product, marketing, operations, and business development
• Recruit and manage early‑stage leadership talent
• Prepare the company for institutional growth
• Work closely with founders on long‑term expansion strategy
• Represent the company publicly when needed
• Help build a world‑class security technology brand

Ideal Candidate

• Experience leading startups or high‑growth technology companies
• Strong understanding of consumer technology and/or cybersecurity
• Comfortable operating in early‑stage startup environments
• Fundraising or investor‑facing experience preferred
• Strong communication and leadership abilities
• High ownership mentality
• Ability to operate under uncertainty and rapid change
• International mindset and ability to scale globally
• Experience in fintech, mobility, cybersecurity, AI, SaaS, or security industries is a major plus

Compensation Structure

Initial Stage Compensation

As an early‑stage company focused on aggressive growth and fundraising, compensation is intentionally founder‑style and equity‑oriented.

Base Salary

• Approximately $4,000–$7,000/month
• Structured as a minimal operational salary until fundraising or major revenue milestones are achieved

Equity / Ownership Participation

• Meaningful equity participation package
• 7% equity
• depending on experience, involvement level, network, and operational contribution

Post‑Fundraising Compensation

Upon successful institutional fundraising and scaling milestones:

• Significant salary increase (up to 25k)
• Performance bonuses
• Expanded equity incentives
• Long‑term executive compensation package

Why This Opportunity Is Different

The global security market is shifting rapidly:

• AI‑driven threats are increasing
• Digital identity attacks are exploding
• Physical and cyber protection are converging
• Consumers increasingly want unified protection instead of fragmented apps and services

DeepLock aims to become the operating layer between people and modern threats.

This role offers the opportunity to help build:

• a globally recognized security brand,
• a massive consumer platform,
• and potentially one of the defining security companies of the next decade.
