The role involves establishing a global security strategy with a key focus on high-risk regions such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), developing site-specific security plans for exploration camps and project sites, and establishing physical surveillance protocols for sites and staff in high-risk zones.
The role requires expertise in designing and implementing scalable, risk-based security programs, developing site-specific security plans, establishing physical surveillance, access control, perimeter security, emergency response protocols, and managing travel risk for workforce protection in high-risk regions like the DRC.
KoBold Metals combines expertise from leading technology companies with renowned exploration geologists, using AI models and novel sensors for mineral exploration, and emphasizes innovation to address industry challenges in discovering new ore deposits.
Strong candidates will have experience leading comprehensive security strategies in high-risk regions like the DRC, with skills in physical security, crisis response, travel risk management, and developing protocols for site protection and workforce safety in global operations.
AI-driven mineral exploration for clean energy
KoBold Metals focuses on discovering new deposits of essential minerals like lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel, which are crucial for clean energy technologies. The company employs artificial intelligence to enhance the mineral exploration process, making it more efficient and predictable. Their proprietary AI tool utilizes a concept known as Efficacy of Information (EOI) to guide data collection during exploration, helping to reduce uncertainty. KoBold invests over $60 million annually in more than 60 projects across three continents, leading extensive research and development efforts in the field. Unlike traditional exploration methods, KoBold aggregates comprehensive data about the Earth's crust's physics and chemistry, allowing for a more scientific approach to mineral discovery. The company's goal is to locate and sell mineral deposits to clean energy companies, providing them with the necessary resources while maintaining a competitive advantage in the market.
