Business Development - Critical Industries

Rainmaker Technology Corporation is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to solve water scarcity. As the Director of Industrial Partnerships, you will drive the commercial adoption of precipitation enhancement services across critical industries, focusing on building partnerships with operators in mining, oil & gas, and hydroelectric power.

Responsibilities:

• Identify and qualify prospects across mining, oil & gas, hydroelectric, and other large industrial sectors whose operations, production volumes, or capital planning are materially impacted by precipitation, reservoir levels, and basin water yield
• Develop and manage a pipeline of industrial partnership opportunities from initial outreach through contract execution, tracking prospects across multiple verticals and geographies
• Design and propose commercial deal structures including service contracts, outcome-based pricing tied to precipitation or basin yield, cost-sharing arrangements across co-located operators, and consortium funding models
• Engage industrial operators, utilities, independent power producers, and large-scale water users as both customers and co-investors in precipitation enhancement programs
• Coordinate with Rainmaker's Government Affairs team to identify public-private partnership opportunities where industrial investment can complement state or federal watershed, reservoir, and water security funding
• Build coalitions of industrial operators, utilities, water districts, and basin stakeholders who collectively benefit from increased precipitation — creating multi-party funding structures for seeding programs within shared watersheds
• Pursue strategic partnerships with industry associations, trade groups, and ESG-focused stakeholders to raise awareness for Rainmaker and cloud seeding as a water security and sustainability tool for resource-intensive industries
• Organize and facilitate site visits, demonstrations, and technical briefings for prospective industrial partners and investors at Rainmaker project sites
