Lead project management for investor events and engagements, preparing comprehensive briefing books and meeting materials and overseeing logistics, scheduling, and follow-up to ensure flawless execution.
Maintain best-in-class IR databases, CRM systems, and market intelligence resources, leveraging them to support outreach, targeting analytics, and executive reporting.
Manage day-to-day relationships with key vendors, ensuring data quality, resolving issues, and recommending enhancements to maximize value.
Respond to routine investor inquiries with timely and accurate information, escalating complex or sensitive questions as appropriate.
Drive AI-enabled process, tooling, and capability improvements, introducing best practices and AI-enabled enhancements that increase productivity, deepen analytical insights, enhance reporting, and meaningfully scale the impact of the IR function.
