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

Semiconductors are the backbone of modern technology. The UK has world‑class capability – but the investment story needs sharper articulation, stronger connectivity and a more coordinated capital strategy. This role is your chance to influence that narrative at national level.

What you’ll lead

• Build and nurture relationships across VC, growth equity, corporate venture and international capital
• Convene high‑quality investor engagement: roundtables, briefings, workshops, targeted events
• Produce investor‑grade materials that clearly communicate the UK semiconductor opportunity
• 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

Location & Travel

• Hybrid: 2 days per week in King’s Cross
• Travel: UK & Europe, with occasional global trips for key events and investor engagements
