Principal Investor Relations Manager

Boston Dynamics
Waltham, MA Full Time
POSTED ON 11/15/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/14/2025
We are seeking an Investor Relations Manager to be the architect of our capital market strategy and investment narrative. This high-impact, cross-functional role is focused on achieving advanced readiness for institutional funding and enterprise value creation through compelling communication and financial strategy. The ideal candidate is a strategic "storyteller" who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to own the end-to-end IR function, partnering closely with the Boston Dynamics Executive Leadership Team to manage future funding rounds and market positioning.

Key Responsibilities And Duties

Strategic Narrative and Positioning

  • Develop the Investment Thesis: Lead the creation and continuous refinement of the company's core investor narrative and investment thesis, clearly articulating the market opportunity, competitive advantage, business model, and path to profitability/scale.
  • Create Capital Market Materials: Design, write, and manage the production of all strategic communications, including pitch decks for potential investors, management presentations, and high-level company overviews.
  • "Jack of All Trades" Support: Serve as a strategic partner to the CFO, CEO, and executive team on high-priority projects, including market sizing, competitive analysis, and strategic planning that informs capital allocation decisions.

Financial Acumen and Data Synthesis

  • Support Financial Modeling: Work closely with the Finance team to understand, synthesize, and clearly articulate the company's financial model, key operating metrics (KPIs), and long-range plan (LRP) to external stakeholders.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Conduct in-depth research on comparable public and private companies, analyzing their valuation multiples, disclosure trends, and strategic moves to benchmark the company's positioning.
  • Board & Executive Communication: Prepare high-quality reports and presentations for the Board of Directors and senior management summarizing market perception, capital raising landscape, and strategic recommendations.

Capital Market Readiness & Project Management

  • Project Management for Fundraises: Take a lead role in project managing future capital raises (e.g., late-stage private rounds), coordinating due diligence materials, managing the data room, and supporting investor meetings.
  • Investor Event Management: Spearhead the planning, organization, and execution of large-scale investor engagement activities, including investor days, analyst visits, non-deal roadshows, and internal pre-funding strategy sessions. This includes managing logistics, content development, & executive briefing materials/scripts
  • Relationship Foundation: Begin establishing foundational relationships with potential new investors (VC, crossover funds, PE & strategic capital) and investment banks that will be critical for future funding rounds.
  • Market Education: Proactively educate potential future partners (analysts, bankers, investors) on the company's story and industry dynamics before formal fundraising processes begin.
  • Define Operating Metrics: Partner with internal teams (Product, Sales, Marketing) to identify, standardize, and track the most meaningful operating metrics (SaaS metrics, unit economics, etc.) that drive enterprise value.

Required Qualifications And Skills

  • 5 years in a high-growth environment, corporate development, investment banking, strategy consulting, or a prior IR role, ideally with exposure to late-stage private funding cycles.
  • Startup Mindset: Demonstrated "driver" personality and comfort with a high-ambiguity, fast-paced, and resource-constrained startup environment. Must be willing to own the end-to-end creation process for IR materials.
  • Logistical & Project Management Skills: Proven ability to manage complex projects and logistics for high-stakes executive events, ensuring seamless execution and professional delivery.
  • Storytelling & Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to distill complex technical/business concepts into a compelling, clear, and financially sound narrative.
  • Financial Literacy: Strong understanding of corporate finance, business valuation techniques, and key operating metrics for high-growth companies.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to collaborate effectively with C-suite executives and drive alignment across Finance, Legal, and Operations teams.

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
