Senior Manager, Investor Relations (Confidential)

Our client is a Singapore-listed REIT manager seeking a Senior Manager to support and manage the REIT’s investor relations activities as a standalone function.

This is a senior and hands-on individual contributor role suited to a candidate with strong financial and capital markets knowledge. The successful candidate should be comfortable working independently and have a good understanding of REIT financial disclosures, SGX requirements and investor communications.

Candidates whose experience is primarily in brand marketing, PR/media relations or communications, without meaningful exposure to financial disclosure, investor/analyst engagement or capital markets, will not be suitable.

• Work closely with the CFO and CEO on investor messaging, disclosure considerations and communications relating to key corporate developments.
• Manage sensitive information flows and disclosure processes surrounding capital markets activities, including debt refinancing, structured financing and equity fundraising.
• Develop and maintain the REIT’s equity story, financial narrative and market positioning across results briefings, annual reports, roadshows and investor communications.
• Coordinate analyst and investor meetings, AGMs, roadshows and non-deal roadshows, including liaison with external capital markets advisors.
• Monitor investor sentiment, unit price performance, peer REIT benchmarking and analyst coverage, providing market intelligence and insights to senior management.
• Support the annual report production process, including corporate and financial narrative sections, sustainability disclosures and coordination with external vendors.
• Manage day-to-day IR activities, including investor and unitholder enquiries, communications and maintenance of the IR website.
• Maintain strong relationships with the investment community and proactively identify opportunities to enhance investor engagement and market visibility.

Key Requirements:

• Minimum 7 years of relevant experience in investor relations, equity research, credit ratings, corporate finance or capital markets.
• Degree in Finance, Accountancy, Business, Economics or a related discipline. CFA or other relevant professional qualification is an advantage.
• Prior experience within a listed REIT, real estate company, investment manager or financial institution is preferred.
• Proven experience engaging directly with institutional investors, sell-side analysts and/or rating agencies.
• Strong financial acumen, with the ability to understand and discuss financial statements, NOI, DPU, leverage, interest coverage, debt covenants and capital structure.
• Good understanding of SGX-listed company disclosure and continuous disclosure requirements; prior SGX/MAS experience is highly preferred.
