Our quantum gravimeter and AI inversion platform-which turns gravity measurements into 3D models of what's underground-replace years of guesswork in resource exploration with high-accuracy insight. We're backed by BHP Ventures, In-Q-Tel, Wavemaker, and others who bet early on paradigm shifts, scaling across our offices in Singapore, Australia, North America, and India.\nThe Role\nThe geophysical services industry has established ways of working that are only beginning to be challenged by new technology and AI. Atomionics’ technology changes dramatically what's possible in exploration, which means almost all, except for early adopters, commercial conversations require building a case from first principles.\nBD here starts before the pitch. It means understanding a client's exploration challenge deeply enough to have a credible first conversation, and knowing what to do with their data once you've earned access to it. You and a small team own the BD function end-to-end, from identifying the right opportunities to signed engagements.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild the commercial thesis from the geology up. Identify prospects through outreach, networks, conferences, and independent analysis of public geological and government exploration data.\nLead technically credible client conversations. Open and advance relationships with exploration companies in mining, new geothermal, oil & gas, geological hydrogen, as well as government agencies for geoscience and defense. Understand their problem, make the case, and earn the right to see their data.\nDo the analysis. Work through client exploration data independently: characterise the deposit, assess density contrasts, target depth and geometry, signal magnitude, and design the survey logic. Translate findings into clear recommendations for clients and internal alignment alike.\nBuild and deliver proposals. Turn business and geophysical reasoning into proposals and pitch materials that communicate value clearly-to clients in terms relevant to their exploration programme, and to internal team members without requiring them to replicate your analysis.\nApply for programs and challenges. Identify relevant industry programs, innovation challenges, and government opportunities. Prepare and pitch.\nUse GIS tools. Comfort with GIS is expected, or a clear track record of picking up technical tools quickly.\nHandle what needs handling. This is a startup.\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust Have\nEither a physical sciences foundation (physics, geophysics, geoscience, geology or equivalent) that enables first-principles reasoning about subsurface problems, or direct experience in the underlying industries. \nExperience in technical BD for a technically complex product: building the commercial case from the product and industry reality, not executing a handed-down playbook. The bar is whether you understand the technology deeply enough to generate the thesis, not just communicate it.\nThe ability to engage unfamiliar data cold, form an independent view, and defend it.\nComfort with GIS tools, or a track record of picking up technical tools quickly.\nClear written and verbal communication across client, proposal, and internal contexts.\nFive to seven years of relevant experience, though the right candidate may sit outside that range.\nGood to Have\nExperience in geophysical services, mineral exploration, or mining technology.\nFamiliarity with gravity methods, subsurface inversion, or AI-assisted geological interpretation.\nExperience applying for industry challenges, innovation programs, or government & large university grants.\nThe Process\nShortlisted candidates will receive a take-home assessment: real geophysical or geological data to analyse independently. We're looking at how you approach an unfamiliar problem, how you structure your reasoning, and what you do with ambiguity.\nWho Thrives Here\nThis role suits someone who has built real technical depth-in a lab, in the field, or through years working closely with technical products-and learned to turn it into commercial outcomes. You don't wait for the problem to be framed. You read the data, form a view, and take it somewhere.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4275,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Quantum Science & Computing","Sensors & Transducers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T07:44:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T03:57:53Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/atomionics-technical-business-development-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/atomionics-technical-business-development-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T03:57:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5646,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":174974},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=174974"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fatomionics-technical-business-development-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fatomionics-technical-business-development-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fatomionics-technical-business-development-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/atomionics-technical-business-development-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fatomionics-technical-business-development-lead"}]}
