This leader will serve as a close thought partner to the CFO, helping shape and articulate Axiom's strategy, capital allocation priorities, and long-term financial trajectory in a manner that is institutionally credible, investable, and stands up to capital markets scrutiny. The role sits at the intersection of investor relations, financial communications, and capital raising, with particular emphasis on translating Axiom's complex, capital-intensive, technology-driven business model to a broad range of investors across various capital markets.

This position reports to the CFO and the location is remote (New York), with regular travel to Houston headquarters and to investor meetings, conferences, and other business engagements.
