VP Investor Relations

html Job Description

Position: Vice President, Investor Relations

Location: Vancouver, British Columbia

Employment Type: Full-time

Reports to: President & Chief Executive Officer

Company Description

RZOLV Technologies Inc. is a Canadian mineral-processing technology company commercializing a proprietary, water-based, non-cyanide hydrometallurgical platform for the recovery of precious metals, base metals, and selected critical minerals. The RZOLV platform is being developed for application to ores, concentrates, tailings, refractory and transitional materials, spent process materials, legacy residues, and selected secondary resources. It is designed to operate under controlled aqueous conditions and integrate with established downstream recovery technologies, including activated carbon, ion exchange, and electrowinning.

RZOLV's commercialization strategy is based on feed-specific metallurgical testing, independent technical validation, partner-supported pilot programs, and commercial relationships involving technology licensing, reagent manufacturing and distribution, project participation, and other strategic arrangements.

RZOLV Technologies Inc. is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol RZL, on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol RZOLF, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol S711.

Position Overview

The Vice President, Investor Relations will lead the development and execution of RZOLV's investor relations, capital-markets engagement, and market-awareness strategy. This is a highly visible and hands-on executive position responsible for shaping how RZOLV's technology, business model, technical progress, commercialization pathway, and long-term value proposition are understood by the investment community.

The successful candidate will serve as a trusted link between the Company and its shareholders, prospective investors, analysts, investment dealers, family offices, and other capital-markets stakeholders. Working closely with the President and CEO, CFO, Board of Directors, technical team, legal counsel, and external advisors, the Vice President will translate complex scientific, metallurgical, financial, and commercial information into clear, credible, and balanced communications.

The position requires more than conventional corporate communications. It combines capital-markets judgment, financial literacy, technical understanding, strategic messaging, regulatory discipline, and direct investor engagement. The successful candidate must be comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial, pre-revenue technology company where the investor relations function must be both strategic and highly execution-oriented.

The central objective is to improve informed market understanding of RZOLV—not through promotional promises, but through consistent communication of what has been demonstrated, what remains under development, the milestones that can reduce risk, and the Company's pathway toward commercial adoption and revenue generation.

• Support the preparation and review of news releases, financial-results communications, management discussion and analysis, corporate presentations, and other public disclosure documents.
• Develop message frameworks for the Company's principal technology applications, target markets, partnerships, licensing opportunities, and commercial-development programs.

• Establish and maintain an appropriate peer group of mining-technology, process-technology, clean-technology, and pre-commercial public companies.

• Provide regular reports to executive management and the Board regarding investor feedback, shareholder concerns, market perceptions, competitive positioning, and emerging capital-markets risks.
• Identify gaps between the Company's internal progress and external market understanding and recommend practical measures to address those gaps.
• Advise management on the potential investor and market implications of technical results, partnerships, financing decisions, corporate transactions, and changes in strategic direction.
