With a growing institutional investor base across the UK, Europe, and North America, and increasing sell-side analyst coverage, the business is investing in its IR capability to improve the quality and consistency of its capital markets communication. The IR Manager will work closely with the CFO and CEO on all investor-facing activity.

THE ROLE

As Investor Relations Manager, you will own the company's investor relations programme, managing the rhythm of investor communications, maintaining strong relationships with the institutional shareholder base, and supporting the CFO and CEO in presenting the company's equity story to the market.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 4–7 years of experience in investor relations, equity research, investment banking (coverage or ECM), or a strategic finance role with IR exposure.

• Strong understanding of financial markets, equity valuation, and investor communication best practices.

• Excellent written communication skills, able to draft polished investor materials with minimal review.

• Comfortable in a high-visibility, fast-paced environment with tight regulatory deadlines.

• Experience in financial services, asset management, or a capital markets context is strongly preferred.
