[Hiring] Team Lead, Investor Relations @Pairs

Role Description

I’m Vincent, co-founder of Pairs. I’m looking for someone who has led a team, still loves the actual work, and wants to build the best investor relations team in venture with us.

The team you’d lead:

• Five associates, each holding a book of investor members and client companies.
• They run mandate calls with family offices and funds.
• They pitch our clients to the members they fit and turn those pitches into founder calls.
• You’d report directly to both founders.

What your week looks like:

• Monday: Set the week with the team - priorities, targets, and who needs help where.
• During the week: On calls with them, reading pitches before they go out, and coaching in the moment.
• Every associate gets a 1:1 with you every week.
• When a mandate call needs someone senior in the room, that’s you.
• Friday: Review of every win and loss, with numbers going to both founders.

What you’ll own:

• Results: mandate calls, activations, pitches, founder calls, and referrals.
• How each associate grows, with a clear bar, honest feedback, and a plan to get better.
• Hiring and onboarding as the team grows.
• The standard: If you wouldn’t put your name on an introduction, it doesn’t go out.

Qualifications

• Someone who has led a team before, ideally around five people.
• A background on the investment side: a family office, VC, growth fund, investment bank, or capital raising for private companies.
• Knowledge of how family offices decide and what gets them to take a founder call.
• Ability to show results rather than just tell, and capable of running the call yourself.
• Ability to provide hard feedback early and kindly, maintaining high standards.
• Experience with AI tooling and a clean CRM to handle admin tasks.

Requirements

• Strong leadership skills.
• Experience in investor relations.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to coach and develop team members.

Benefits

• US$200K to US$300K total compensation.
• Fully remote position.
• A few hours of overlap with US Eastern time.
• A team to lead and a direct line to both founders.
• A seat that grows as the team does.
