Investor Relations Manager
Avanti Finance is growing – fast
We’re on a mission to become the best specialist lending company in New Zealand and Australia, and we’re looking for ambitious, driven people to help get us there.
We’ve got bold goals and a clear vision for the future. That means exciting opportunities for those ready to champion new ideas, challenge the status quo, and grow alongside us.
If you’re hungry to make an impact, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and love turning ideas into action – you’ll feel right at home here.
Reporting to the Group Treasurer (Executive), this newly shaped role is a key strategic hire as we evolve our investor engagement model. As Investor Relations Manager, you’ll be instrumental in deepening relationships with our existing investor network of over 100 High Net Worth and institutional investors, while also playing a pivotal role in expanding our reach.
Sitting within the Treasury team, you'll help shift our investor engagement from a transactional approach to a continuous, strategic, and insights-led model, positioning Avanti Finance as a trusted and progressive player in the funds management space.
As an Investor Relations Manager, you can expect to:
- Develop and execute a structured investor relations strategy for the Group's off-balance sheet funds.
- Maintain and deepen relationships with existing investors, ensuring consistent, high-quality communication
- Identify and engage potential new investors to support future investment initiatives
- Act as a trusted point of contact for investors, understanding their needs and ensuring alignment with our products
- Partner closely with funding and product teams to communicate investment opportunities clearly and effectively
- Lead the planning and execution of investor updates, roadshows, reports, and briefings
- Maintain an up-to-date CRM/database of investor interactions and preferences
- Support the launch and promotion of new products (e.g. funds, structured finance offerings)
We are looking for candidates who have:
- Strong background in investor relations, institutional relationship management, or capital markets
- Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or a related field is preferred but not essential
- Proven ability to expand funding opportunities by leveraging networks, balancing risk and reward, and maintaining strong, trust-based relationships with key stakeholders and investors.
- Experience dealing with complex financial products (e.g. managed funds, MTNs, RMBS, ABS)
- Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build credibility and trust with sophisticated investors
- A strategic mindset and a proactive, structured approach to relationship management
- Professional, polished communication style, not transactional
- Highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working cross-functionally
What's in it for me?

We believe in celebrating diversity, and we also celebrate talent and development by working with you through an established capability framework that puts you in the driving seat of your development while achieving business goals. You won't find a gender pay gap here, as we have great remuneration packages but as we all know there's more to an awesome job than the money.
