VP, Business Development

About the company:

The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits,
requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The
easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry
has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the
manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper,
lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data
centers.

KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those
models—alongside our novel sensors—to guide decisions on
KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. In the six years since founding,
KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration
company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists
and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead
exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists.





KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the
industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the
copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and
this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold
has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential
for another high-quality discovery.

KoBold is privately held; investors include institutional asset managers T. Rowe
Price and Canada Pension Plan Investments; technology venture capitalists
Andreessen Horowitz, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BOND Capital, Durable
Capital, StepStone, and Standard Investments; and natural resources companies
Equinor, BHP, and Mitsubishi.

About The Role:

In this role, you will lead KoBold’s business development efforts to secure
compelling exploration rights, development stage assets, and mining assets held
