Kite Magnetics has developed and patented Aeroperm, which replaces the common motor cores with this new material, allowing reductions in weight, significant reductions in the total product and system cost, while delivering added performance in torque, range, battery life and energy efficiency. Position Overview The Head of Business Development is a hands-on, senior commercial leader responsible for taking Kite Magnetics' automotive opportunities from high interest status to signed supply agreements.

You will work directly with the CEO and Chief of Staff on deal strategy and approvals, coordinate closely with engineering and quality to align commercial commitments with delivery readiness, and maintain crisp, stage-based forecasting in HubSpot. You will also support selective top-of-funnel sourcing for priority targets, with limited support to our defence and non-automotive markets. The role is expansive: after the first year you will recruit two business development managers (one automotive, one cross-sector) and establish the operating rhythm for a small, high-performing BD team. Regular international travel is required, with Europe and North America as the initial focus. First supply agreements will be negotiated collaboratively and approved at board level.

Track the pipeline: On HubSpot regularly, maintain stage definitions from evaluation to order, and provide accurate, board-ready forecasts (volumes, production dates, pricing frameworks, risks/next actions). Align commercial with delivery: Coordinate with engineering and quality on supply, prototype schedules, delivery expectations; ensure specifications, traceability, and change control are captured in contracts. Create customer-facing materials: Develop concise decks, one-pagers, datasheets, case studies, FAQs, and tradeshow/website copy; maintain a version-controlled collateral library; tailor content for key accounts. Lead market research and competitive assessments: Refresh TAM/SAM views, track competitor offerings, SWOT and positioning, benchmark pricing and terms; deliver quarterly insight briefs that inform pricing, messaging, and roadmap. Navigate channels wisely: Sell direct to vertically integrated OEMs; and where OEMs source externally, coordinate with the OEM and relevant Tier-1 suppliers to avoid channel conflict and preserve value. Safeguard compliance: Conduct material sanction screening and export-sanctions diligence for accounts and shipments; escalate edge cases if needed. Build the team: At month 12, recruit and onboard two Business Development Managers (automotive and cross-sector); install operating workflow (weekly pipeline, quarterly account reviews, playbooks, templates) and coach to consistent execution. Represent Kite Magnetics at priority industry events and customer sites; Manage a lean commercial budget for travel, shows, and contracting support. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, a related field, or its equivalent in relevant experience. A master's degree, MBA, or equivalent experience is also welcomed.
