Director Investor Relations - Renewables
Selby Jennings is exclusively partnering with a leading UK-based investment manager with over £2bn in assets under management to appoint a Investor Relations Director. This is a senior leadership role, ideal for a highly organised and experienced professional who can spearhead all investor relations functions with a strong focus on project management, process execution, and team leadership.
This is not a sales or fundraising-led role. While experience supporting fundraises is beneficial, the priority is on operational excellence, delivery, and strategic coordination across investor-facing initiatives.

- Provide day-to-day oversight, coaching, and accountability.
- Foster a collaborative, delivery-focused culture.

- Drive timelines, workflows, and cross-functional coordination to ensure deadlines are met.
- Continuously improve internal processes and reporting frameworks.
Collateral & Communications
- Define and uphold high standards for investor-facing materials (e.g., pitch decks, factsheets, reports).
- Ensure consistency, accuracy, and brand alignment across all communications.
- Work closely with marketing, compliance, and investment teams to deliver best-in-class outputs.
Fundraise Execution
- Lead the operational side of fundraise launches, from planning through to delivery.
- Understand the steps required to build momentum and engagement throughout a campaign.
- Coordinate internal stakeholders to ensure smooth execution.
Investor Targeting & Strategy
- Suggest investor targets using internal knowledge, market research, and external databases.
- While deep personal investor relationships are not essential, a strategic understanding of the investor landscape is important.
- Support the development of outreach strategies and engagement plans.
Candidate Profile
- Experience: 10+ years in investor relations, investment management, or a related field, with a strong emphasis on project delivery and team leadership.
- Execution-Oriented: Proven ability to manage complex, deadline-driven initiatives with precision.
- Leadership: Hands-on team leader with a collaborative and structured approach.
- Detail-Focused: High standards for quality and consistency in investor materials and communications.
- Strategic Thinker: Understands how to build and maintain momentum during fundraising campaigns.
