VP of Investor Relations

VP Of Investor Relations

We're looking for a poised, analytically sharp, and unflappable VP of Investor Relations (IR) to join our team. This role sits at the intersection of capital markets, strategy, and communication within a high-growth, billion-dollar energy company in its first year as a publicly traded firm.

You will serve as a trusted partner to senior leadership - helping shape and deliver the company's financial narrative, engaging directly with the investment community, and ensuring our communications meet the expectations of institutional investors, research analysts, and the broader market.

This role reports to the EVP of Finance and will work closely alongside a peer leader, with the opportunity to build and scale the investor relations function over time.

This role is for someone who thrives under pressure, can hold their own in high-stakes conversations, and brings a strong understanding of how both the sell-side and buy-side evaluate companies in the energy sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a credible point of contact for sell-side analysts, buy-side investors, and industry research boutiques.
• Support the development and refinement of the company's core financial narrative and market positioning.
• Draft earnings messaging, investor scripts, Q&A prep, and briefing materials for leadership.
• Coordinate and support quarterly earnings processes in partnership with finance, accounting, legal, and communications teams.

Investor Materials & Market Messaging

• Lead the creation and continuous enhancement of investor presentations, earnings decks, fact sheets, and quarterly updates.
• Ensure messaging is consistent, accurate, and aligned with public company expectations.
• Translate complex operational and financial information into clear, compelling materials suitable for institutional audiences.

Investor Engagement & Capital Markets Interface

• Support leadership in managing investor relationships and engaging with the investment community.
• Prepare executives ahead of investor meetings, conferences, roadshows, and diligence sessions.
• Track investor sentiment, meeting outcomes, and market feedback in a structured and actionable way.
• Help anticipate investor questions, narrative risks, and market sensitivities.
• Serve as one of the company's primary external IR contacts, partnering closely with the EVP of Finance and senior leadership to manage investor and analyst relationships.
• Help build and professionalize the IR function over time, including tools, cadence, messaging workflows, and engagement tracking as the company scales.

Financial & Industry Analysis

• Analyze financial performance, KPIs, valuation drivers, and competitive positioning.
• Monitor peer companies, energy sector developments, regulatory shifts, and capital markets trends.
• Provide leadership with timely synthesis of market intelligence and industry research.

Public Company Readiness & Disclosure Support

• Contribute to the development of earnings materials, press release inputs, and disclosure documents.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure information shared externally meets public company standards for accuracy, consistency, and compliance.
• Maintain a high bar for precision across all IR deliverables.

Ideal Candidate

You're steady, confident, and composed - someone who can walk into a room with institutional investors, hold your ground, and communicate clearly. You thrive in fast-moving environments, anticipate what leadership needs before they ask, and bring structure and clarity to complex financial topics. Known for your judgment and reliability, you're the kind of person who absorbs pressure without showing it and can deliver high-quality work even in tight, high-stakes timelines. You combine analytical rigor with strong communication instincts, and you understand how the energy markets and investor ecosystems work.

First 6-12 Months of Success

• Establishing a clear and consistent investor narrative in partnership with the EVP of Finance and senior leadership, with messaging that resonates with institutional investors and analysts.
• Successfully executing quarterly earnings cycles with high-quality materials, strong Q&A preparation, and disciplined coordination across finance, accounting, legal, and communications.
• Building credibility and strong working relationships with key sell-side analysts, core institutional investors, and relevant industry research boutiques.
• Implementing a structured IR operating cadence - including tracking investor sentiment, meeting outcomes, key FAQs, and market feedback - to inform leadership decisions and anticipate narrative risk.
• Elevating the quality, clarity, and consistency of investor materials (earnings decks, fact sheets, and updates) to reflect public-company standards and support long-term capital markets positioning.
