COMPANY OVERVIEW Realm http://realmalliance.com builds AI for the mining industry. We integrate with existing mine infrastructure — cameras, SCADA systems, drones, and data repositories — to predict equipment failures, detect unsafe behaviors, and optimize operations. Our platform deploys intelligence in various ways to improve productivity and safety — monitoring PPE compliance via computer vision, optimizing froth flotation processes, analyzing longwall shearer performance, tracking MSHA citation patterns, and more. Our founders started their careers at Palantir before going on to build Blend Labs (publicly traded fintech, founded as CTO) and Even (acquired by Walmart). Our leadership team brings experience from Uber, Metropolis, and other high-bar organizations. We're a small, senior team that ships daily to production mines. AI isn't just our product — it's how we build. We're an AI-first engineering team that uses the latest models and tooling throughout our development process, moving faster and at higher quality than traditional teams our size. Our culture values high agency, deep ownership, collaboration, and autonomy across a fully remote workforce. Teams here move quickly and make meaningful contributions to a product that shapes global industrial outcomes. THE OPPORTUNITY Realm is winning in coal. We're live at major operations in the Alabama met coal corridor, delivering AI-driven safety and production to some of the most demanding mining operations in America. The question now isn't whether the product works. It's how fast we can put it in front of the right people at the right companies. That's where you come in. We're hiring a Business Development hire to expand into large mining and industrial enterprises. These are publicly traded companies running hundreds of millions to billions in annual revenue, with complex buying processes, multiple stakeholders, and long decision cycles. The pilot you close this year is the foundation for a multi-site, multi-year relationship next year. This role reports to our Head of Operations & Business and will work with our CEO on a very regular basis.
Build and own a strategic account pipeline. Identify the right targets across mining and adjacent industrial verticals. Map the organizations, understand the power structure, and build relationships at multiple levels, from operations managers to C-suite. You’re not afraid to make cold calls and take the long-term relationship all the way. Lead enterprise sales cycles. Manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes from first conversation to signed agreement. Comfortable with long cycles, procurement processes, and the patience required to move large organizations. Overtime these will become multi-million dollar enterprise agreements by demonstrating value early and building internal champions. Represent Realm at the highest level. Attend industry conferences, executive briefings, and site visits. You are often the first impression of the company with senior decision-makers. You bring credibility, polish, and the ability to hold a room. Feed intelligence back into the company. You will hear things in the field that matter to product, pricing, and positioning. We expect you to bring that back and shape how Realm evolves.
