Investor Relations Manager

Help grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day.

A new and exciting investor relations manager role has opened up in one of the highest quality companies in the UK market.

The creation of this new role reflects the continued growth and increasing profile of this FTSE 100 company. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious professional to build their career in a company that is not only one of Britain’s most successful and highly rated, but also has a strong and positive purpose.

You will work with the Co-Heads of Investor Relations and the Investor Relations Coordinator in continuing to grow the investor relations programme, helping them innovate to find new pools of investor interest, and to ensure continued, consistent and high quality communication with existing shareholders and the sell-side.

You will have a good understanding of the role of investor relations, and how a company interacts with the wider capital markets. As well as being highly numerate and literate, you will also be a strong communicator, being able to tell a compelling story in both written and verbal form.

You will be expected to build strong relationships, both outside the company with investors, analysts and advisors, including at external events, and also to work in a highly collaborative manner across the organisation, including with senior management, division and company heads, finance, communications, company secretariat and our M&A teams. There will be good access to senior management and candidates should be comfortable in operating at all levels across the organisation.

The company is a high performance organisation where autonomy goes hand in hand with accountability. It has a highly collaborative and supportive culture, and a long-term perspective. The company is therefore looking for a proactive candidate who has not only strong intellectual capabilities, but also high levels of “EQ”, and who is motivated to build a career over the longer term. This role offers excellent opportunities for professional development and the group has a strong track record of retaining and developing employees.
