Industry Principal — Strategic Business Development

Industry Principal — Strategic Business Development

We’re looking for industry leaders—people who’ve led Quality, Compliance, Aftermarket Operations, or Safety —who are ready to bring their deep domain expertise and industry relationships to a company that’s solving the exact problems they spent their careers fighting.

ABOUT ALITHEON

Alitheon has created something that didn’t exist before: a way to give every physical object its own unique, immutable, permanent identity—using nothing more than a photograph.

Our patented FeaturePrint technology works like fingerprints for people, but for things. By reading the inherent micro-surface features of any object, we can register, identify, authenticate, and trace individual items at scale—without altering the product, disrupting the production line, or relying on tags, stickers, etchings, QR codes, blockchain, or any other proxy marker (visible or invisible).

We are not competing in an existing category. We are defining a new one.

Our technology enables 1-to-1, item-level serialization across industries where traceability, authenticity, and provenance aren’t just operational concerns—they’re existential ones: luxury goods, collectibles, healthcare, military, automotive, and aerospace.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

The problems Alitheon solves are bigger and deserve more attention than what can be shared in a product brochure. They are understood by living them—by being the person who had to explain why counterfeit parts entered the supply chain, or why a recall took 14 weeks instead of 14 hours, or why proving provenance requires a binder full of paper certificates that nobody trusts, or why it takes so long to simply manage your inventory because the stickers fell off of your items.

We’ve learned that the most powerful conversations about our technology don’t and shouldn’t start with an email. They start with credibility—with someone who sits across from a CFO, a Head of Compliance, or a VP of Operations and says, “I’ve been where you are. Let me show you what’s now possible.”

That’s why we’re looking for you: an industry veteran who is ready to leverage everything you know and everyone you know to open doors that traditional sales never could.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Be the expert voice.
  Represent Alitheon as a domain authority within your industry vertical. You won’t be reading from a script—you’ll be drawing from years of lived experience to articulate why FeaturePrint matters.
• Open doors at the top.
  Use your existing network, industry reputation, and sector knowledge to initiate strategic conversations with senior decision-makers: Heads of Finance, Compliance, Quality, Safety, Operations, and Aftermarket leaders.
• Create opportunities, not just leads.
  Identify, cultivate, and develop high-value business relationships that lead to pilot programs, partnerships, and enterprise-scale deployments.
• Shape how we go to market.
  Provide strategic intelligence on industry pain points, buying processes, regulatory drivers, and competitive dynamics to help Alitheon refine its positioning and roadmap.
• Collaborate cross-functionally.
  Work closely with Alitheon’s product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to ensure what we deliver and how we message it is grounded in real-world operational reality.

WHO YOU ARE

You are an experienced professional who has held operational, quality, compliance, safety, or aftermarket leadership roles in at least one of the following industries:

• Expensive items: Luxury Goods; Collectibles & High-Value Assets
• Healthcare, Medical Devices & Pharmaceuticals
• Military & Defense
• Transportation: Automotive (OEM and/or Aftermarket); Aerospace & Aviation
• Microelectronics / PCBAs / Datacenters

Specifically, you bring:

• 10+ years of industry experience,
  with significant time in senior or executive roles where you owned real operational outcomes.
• First-hand knowledge of the pain.
  You’ve dealt with counterfeiting, traceability gaps, compliance burdens, inefficient and ineffective inventory management at scale, recall inefficiencies, warranty fraud, or provenance challenges—and you know what these cost in dollars, reputation, safety, and trust.
• Executive communication skills.
  You’re as comfortable in a boardroom as on a factory floor. You can translate sophisticated technology into business value and operational impact.
• Entrepreneurial energy.
  You thrive in a high-growth environment where you’re building something, not maintaining something.
• A strong professional network
  of peers and decision-makers across your industry who respect your judgment and take your calls.

WHY JOIN ALITHEON

• Category creation.
  You won’t be selling a slightly better version of something that already exists. You’ll be introducing a capability the world has never had.
• Technology that actually works.
  FeaturePrint is patented, proven, and already deployed. This is not vaporware—it’s a solution looking for the right champions.
• Massive market potential.
  Every physical product in the world is a potential use case. You’ll help determine where we win first.
• Impact that matters.
  From keeping counterfeit drugs out of hospitals to authenticating mission-critical aerospace parts, the work you do here can literally save lives.
• Leadership-level influence.
  You won’t be executing someone else’s playbook. You’ll be writing it.

COMPENSATION & STRUCTURE

Compensation is commensurate with experience and reflects the seniority and strategic nature of this role. The package includes salary, equity, and amazing benefits.

This is a remote position with periodic travel to industry events, client sites, and company gatherings.
