Institutional Relations Lead

Investment Content Creation

Institutional Investor Engagement

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in investor relations, institutional research, investment banking, equity sales, or capital-markets roles, with significant direct experience engaging institutional investors.
• Demonstrated experience engaging directly with sell-side equity research analysts — either as a peer analyst or as the company-side IR professional managing those relationships.
• Exceptional written communication skills with a proven ability to produce institutional-grade content: research notes, white papers, or investor presentations that have been read and acted on by accredited audiences.
• Deep understanding of how institutional investment decisions are made and how sell-side research influences allocator behaviour.
• Genuine fluency in digital assets, blockchain technology, and token economics. You need to be able to speak credibly about staking mechanics and protocol revenue to generalist managers.
• Existing relationships with sell-side analysts who cover crypto, fintech, or digital asset companies
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building a function from scratch within a globally distributed organisation.

Preferred Requirements

• Prior experience as a sell-side equity research analyst, particularly covering fintech, payments infrastructure, or digital assets.
• Experience at a crypto-native company or strong knowledge of DeFi.
• Familiarity with the institutional digital asset landscape — who the major players are, how they think about digital assets, and what drives their decisions.
• CFA or equivalent financial credentials.
• All roles with Chainlink Labs are global and remote-based. Unless otherwise stated, we ask that you try to overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST).
• We carefully review all applications and aim to provide a response to every candidate within two weeks after the job posting closes. The closing date is listed on the job advert, so we encourage you to take the time to thoughtfully prepare your application. We want to fully consider your experience and skills, and you will hear from us regarding the status of your application shortly after the closing date.
