Niron Magnetics is seeking a Manager of Corporate Development to serve as a hands-on execution partner to the senior leadership team as the company scales toward high-volume production. This role sits at the intersection of capital formation, government financing, strategic partnerships, and corporate strategy — building the models, materials, and analysis that inform decisions made by the CEO, CFO, and Board.

• Draft investor-facing narrative and Board materials that translate technical and manufacturing progress into a clear commercial story.

• Own competitive intelligence on the global magnet supply chain, rare earth pricing dynamics, and alternative material entrants.
• Produce analyses that inform capacity planning, pricing strategy, capital allocation, and go-to-market sequencing.

Partnerships and Inorganic Growth

• Support the structuring and negotiation of commercial agreements — joint development agreements, supply agreements, and offtake arrangements — including comparable transaction benchmarking and term analysis.
• Screen and evaluate inorganic opportunities such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and licensing arrangements as the company grows.
• Prepare negotiation materials, valuation analyses, and…
