Head of Investor Relations

We are a publicly traded semiconductor company with a differentiated technology platform and a growing strategic footprint across key end markets. We’re hiring a Head of Investor Relations to lead our global IR program with the discipline, maturity, and market credibility expected of a public company—owning our narrative, our quarterly cadence, and our relationships with the investment community.

This role is ideal for a seasoned IR leader who has “carried the bag”: built investor trust over time, managed disclosure risk, guided executives through high-stakes moments, and helped the Street understand performance drivers through cycles. You’ll bring rigor to our communications, elevate investor targeting and perception, and act as a strategic advisor to the CFO and CEO.

• Build and run a best-in-class IR function: annual plan, engagement strategy, disclosure calendar, materials, messaging architecture, investor segmentation, and KPI tracking.
• Drive a proactive program that strengthens credibility, improves investor understanding, and supports long-term shareholder base quality.

• Lead end-to-end quarterly process: earnings scripts, releases, decks, guidance framing, Q&A book, executive prep, and post-earnings follow-through.
• Partner with Finance, Legal, and Accounting to ensure Reg FD compliance, consistent disclosure practices, and strong controls around forward-looking messaging.
• Maintain tight alignment across public remarks (earnings, conferences, fireside chats, press) with a clear escalation process for sensitive topics.

• Own the semiconductor-specific narrative: end-market demand signals, product cycles, design-win momentum, backlog/bookings context (as applicable), pricing and mix, utilization/capacity impacts, gross margin drivers, and working capital dynamics.
• Translate operational complexity into investor-relevant clarity—without hype, without hand-waving.
• Build messaging that stands up under scrutiny from long-onlys, specialists, and skeptics.

• Serve as primary point of contact for the investment community; manage day-to-day investor interactions and oversee corporate access.
• Strengthen and expand high-quality sell-side coverage thoughtfully; ensure analysts have the right framework to model the business accurately.
• Lead a data-driven investor targeting strategy and continuously improve shareholder mix over time.

• Run investor perception efforts (formal studies and informal signals), identify the “why” behind valuation gaps, and drive action plans with leadership.
• Bring market intelligence back into the business: competitive narratives, investor concerns, and emerging themes.
• Coach executives for external engagements—tone, clarity, confidence, and consistency.

• Support CFO/CEO with Board-level IR updates as needed: investor sentiment, ownership changes, risk themes, and strategic positioning.
• Lead communications readiness for special situations: guidance changes, macro shocks, customer concentration headlines, supply chain disruptions, short reports, activist interest, M&A, capital raises, or leadership transitions.

• A clear, consistent, high-integrity equity story that improves investor understanding and reduces “unknowns.”
• A disciplined quarterly operating rhythm that executives trust and the Street respects.
• Stronger targeting outcomes: better meetings, better follow-ups, measurable progress in perception.
• Improved external alignment on the KPIs and operating drivers that matter most to valuation.
• A more resilient communications posture during volatility—calm, precise, and credible.

You’re a seasoned public-company IR leader with strong judgment, executive presence, and a track record of building trust.

Required experience & capabilities

• 10–15+ years in Investor Relations (or relevant blend of IR + capital markets) with meaningful public-company experience.
• Demonstrated ownership of earnings and high-stakes disclosures—script, deck, guidance messaging, Q&A, and executive prep.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor and hardware business models (fabless, IDM, IP/licensing, supply-chain dynamics)—and how investors model them.
• Deep familiarity with investor targeting, CRM discipline, conference/NDR strategy, and perception measurement.
• Excellent writing skills—can produce investor-grade materials that are crisp, accurate, and consistent.
• High integrity and composure; confident navigating ambiguity, scrutiny, and sensitive information.

Preferred

• Experience through cycles and “hard moments” (misses, margin compression, supply constraints, demand resets).
• Track record of improving valuation narrative and/or broadening ownership quality over time.
• Exposure to strategic actions (M&A, divestitures, restructuring, capital allocation shifts, activism defense).
