Investor Relations Manager – Semiconductor Industry

The UK Semiconductor Centre is building the future of the UK’s semiconductor ecosystem — and we’re hiring a standout Investor Relations Manager to help shape how the UK attracts, engages and mobilises capital across this critical sector.
Reporting directly to the Director of Investor Relations, this is a rare opportunity to sit at the centre of the UK’s semiconductor investment landscape, working with VCs, growth funds, corporates, founders and global investors.
Why this role matters

Support founders on fundraising readiness: positioning, messaging, investor alignment
Track investment trends, capital flows and sentiment across semiconductors and deep tech
Map and explain public funding pathways (UK & global) to help companies blend dilutive and non‑dilutive capital
Contribute to UKSC’s flagship publications, frameworks and data‑driven insights
What you bring
Background in venture capital, investment banking, deep‑tech investing, or high‑tech/semiconductor environments
Strong understanding of capital raising and investor decision‑making
Exceptional communication and analytical skills
Ability to engage credibly with both investors and technically sophisticated founders
Qualification flexible: finance, investment, engineering, science or similar
How you operate
Commercially sharp, relationship‑driven, and comfortable in a fast‑moving, mission‑led environment
Confident navigating both strategic thinking and hands‑on execution
Naturally network‑oriented - you enjoy being out in the ecosystem, connecting dots and building momentum
