Chief of Staff, Commercial

The Company is seeking a Commercial Chief of Staff to translate executive priorities into account plans, deal strategies, and measurable milestones. The role leads commercial opportunities for mineral-derived materials from initial engagement and technical evaluation through negotiation and signed agreements. Responsibilities include building customer and supply-chain relationships, structuring and negotiating commercial agreements, and coordinating with technical and operations teams on customer requirements and material qualification. The successful candidate will assess market demand, pricing, processing economics, and supply risks; maintain pipeline reviews and forecasts; and align agreements with production plans and material availability. Candidates should bring substantial commercial leadership and sales experience with mineral feedstocks, oxides, concentrates, or related products, plus a record of originating and closing complex transactions in mining, processing, refining, or metals trading. Practical knowledge of assays, mineralogy, material valuation, impurities, and recovery considerations is required. Experience negotiating offtake agreements, indexed pricing, payability schedules, refining charges, and impurity penalties is important, along with established supply-chain relationships. Strong deal judgment, account planning, forecasting, and the ability to work directly with executive leadership while personally advancing negotiations are essential.
