Descripción del empleo

We are hiring a Head of Investor Relations to lead the team that runs our investor network.

Pairs is a vetted private capital network. We put break-out founders in front of the family offices, VCs and strategic investors who fit them, and our team runs the investor relations work around every introduction. We are paid by the founder for our work, never by the round. Investors are members of the network and pay nothing. We are a small, senior team, profitable and self-funded.

The role

This is a leadership seat. You run the IR team: around six direct reports, the associates who each hold a book of members and clients. You report directly to the two co-founders.

Your job is to make that team excellent. You hire well, set a clear bar, run the weekly rhythm, coach every associate on their calls and pitches, and have the hard conversation early when someone is off track. The team’s results are your results.

Founders work with us for our investor network. Members read what we send because it fits what they told us. Through your team, you own that network and keep every relationship getting stronger month after month. You still take the mandate calls with our most senior family offices, because a leader who stays close to the work coaches it better.

What you will own

• The IR team: around six direct reports. Hiring, onboarding, weekly 1:1s, coaching, performance, and a clear bar for what good looks like.

• The team's rhythm: a weekly kickoff, a weekly review of every win and loss, and a team that runs on its own when you are not in the room.

• The health of the investor network: more active members every month, and every member getting deals that fit their thesis at the pace they asked for.

• Pitch quality: every introduction your team sends is one you would put your own name on.

• A weekly read on the numbers to the co-founders: mandate calls, activations, pitches, founder calls and referrals.

• Senior mandate calls with family offices and strategic investors, including new regions.

• Close work with our client success team, so every client’s raise keeps moving.

You are a fit if you

• Have run a team before, ideally around six direct reports, and can show what they achieved under you and who you grew.

• Have hired, coached and, when needed, let go of people, and held a team to a standard without doing their work for them.

• Have 6 or more years on the investment side of a family office, VC or growth fund, or in capital raising for private companies.

• Hold real, current relationships with family offices, and know what they ask before they take a founder call.

• Write a two-line pitch an investor reads to the end.

• Run on systems: CRM discipline, a clear weekly rhythm, nothing left in your head.

• Treat discretion as a reflex: founders’ numbers and members’ names stay confidential.

• Work like it is 2026: AI tooling runs the admin so your hours go to people.

What we offer

US$200K to US$300K total compensation. Fully remote, with a few hours of overlap with US Eastern time. A seat reporting directly to both co-founders, a team to lead, and a network that grows with every month you put into it.
