This role is based in our Lexington office and requires an onsite presence five days per week to support our commitment to seamless partnership, timely decision-making, and high-impact execution.

  • Track and provide feedback on changes to the shareholder base, investor sentiment, peer performance, and capital markets trends;
  • Research and maintain a prioritized institutional investor target list, including investment style profiling, contact prioritization and tracking, and CRM management;
  • Track investor interactions and prepare executive-level briefing materials for key spokespeople in support of a high impact calendar (e.g., investor conferences and roadshows, scientific/medical meetings, quarterly earnings, etc.);
  • Manage relationships and workstreams with third-party service providers;
  • Understand innovative and best-in-class IR strategies and tactics through peer and industry benchmarking;
  • Support digital IR strategy, including maintenance of the IR website, investor-facing social media channels, and online financial data accuracy; ensure all digital content is consistent with approved corporate messaging.

Standout Skills for Impact:

  • The investor relations function at Kiniksa is a lean, high-accountability team. The Manager, Investor Relations, serves as the operational engine of the function. A successful candidate is one who takes genuine ownership of execution quality and consistency, iterates thoughtfully and quickly, and can thrive in a fast-paced environment;
  • Comprehension of capital markets, public company disclosures, and financial reporting;
  • Excellent communication skills, including writing and editing, with the ability to craft concise and accurate presentations;
  • Robust attention to detail and strong research/analytical skills with the ability to thoughtfully synthesize qualitative and quantitative concepts into clear, decision-ready insights.

Qualifications and Experience:

  • Requires a Bachelor's degree (MBA or other advanced degree a plus) with 3+ years of relevant experience in investor relations or financial communications (within the life sciences industry a plus);
  • Experience with IR analytics platforms (e.g., Nasdaq IR Insight, FactSet/Irwin, AlphaSense, etc.);

  • Ability to work well across functional areas, manage evolving priorities, and enjoy a fast-paced, unpredictable environment;
  • High degree of intellectual curiosity about the biopharma sector; genuine interest in understanding the science, the competitive landscape, and the investment thesis, not just the communications function.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
