About the Company
Our client is a London-listed infrastructure investment trust with £2.5bn in market capitalisation and a diversified portfolio of UK and European operational assets across renewable energy, social infrastructure, and transport. With a broad shareholder base spanning retail and institutional investors, and a regular capital markets calendar, the board is looking for a Head of Investor Relations to own all market-facing communications and build a best-in-class IR function.
The Role
As Head of Investor Relations, you will own the full IR programme, including results communications, investor and analyst engagement, roadshows, and ESG investor relations. You will work closely with the CFO, CEO, and board to ensure the market has an accurate and compelling understanding of the company's strategy, performance, and portfolio.
What You'll Do
- Own the results communication process, preparing results presentations, RNS announcements, and investor and analyst Q&A materials for half-year and full-year results.
- Manage the institutional investor and sell-side analyst relationships, conducting regular one-to-one meetings, roadshows, and site visits.
- Monitor and analyse the shareholder register, providing the CFO and board with regular intelligence on investor sentiment and positioning.
- Lead ESG investor relations, engaging with ESG-focused shareholders, responding to ESG questionnaires, and coordinating with the sustainability team on market-facing disclosure.
- Oversee the IR website, annual report, and all investor-facing materials.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of experience in investor relations, equity capital markets, or sell-side equity research, with at least 3 years in a listed company IR role.
- Strong understanding of financial markets, equity valuation, and institutional investor expectations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills (able to draft compelling investor narratives and present confidently to large institutional audiences).
- Familiarity with infrastructure, real assets, or investment trusts is strongly preferred.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary of £100,000 – £130,000, depending on experience. Annual bonus. 25 days holiday and hybrid working from London with travel for roadshows. Pension and private health.
