If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.

 

The Role

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.

What You’ll Lead & Own

1) IR Strategy & Execution

  • 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.

2) Earnings Leadership & Disclosure Discipline

  • 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.

3) Equity Story, Positioning & Investor Education

  • 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.

4) Investor, Analyst & Sell-Side Relationship Leadership

  • 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.

5) Perception, Feedback Loops & Executive Advisory

  • 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.

6) Board & Strategic Event Readiness

  • 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.

What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)

  • 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.

Who You Are

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).

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
