Investor Relations Manager

Role Summary

The Investor Relations Manager will be a hands-on, execution-focused contributor to CTW’s Investor Relations function. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role is responsible for the day-to-day preparation and execution of IR communications, materials, and investor interactions.

This is not a strategy-only or coordinator role
. The successful candidate will personally own drafting, analysis, and execution while working closely with senior management and external IR/PR advisors during a transition period toward greater in-house ownership.

CTW plans to hire two Investor Relations Managers at the same level to support growing IR needs and to foster a performance-driven environment. High performers will have opportunities for expanded responsibilities and career progression as the function matures.

• Strong understanding of U.S. securities regulations, public company disclosure practices, and Regulation FD.
