Drive Strategic Investor Engagement at one of the UK’s Most Ambitious Infrastructure Projects
Sizewell C (SZC) is a nationally significant infrastructure project at the heart of the UK’s clean energy future. Backed by HM Government and EDF, we are building a new nuclear power station to support the country’s net-zero transition. As we approach financial close and enter the next critical phase of delivery, we are seeking an accomplished and strategically minded Senior Manager of Investor Relations to lead and shape our engagement with a complex, high-profile investor base.
The Opportunity
This is a high-impact, senior management role where you will be accountable for building and implementing a best-in-class investor relations function.
You will work closely with the Director of Finance & IR, the CFO, the SZC Executive team, and the Board to deliver accurate, transparent, and strategic communications with institutional investors, Government shareholders, and a broad spectrum of external stakeholders.
Operating at the heart of a multibillion-pound programme, you will play a pivotal role in protecting and enhancing SZC’s corporate reputation, ensuring consistency in messaging, and providing clarity on performance, risks, and opportunities as we move through construction and into operations.
Key Responsibilities
* Strategic Leadership: Develop and lead SZC’s investor relations strategy and operating model, ensuring robust engagement and transparency with shareholders including HM Government and institutional investors.
* Stakeholder Influence: Serve as the senior point of contact for all investor-facing matters, including key communications with HM Treasury, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, regulators, and EDF.
* Executive Partnership: Provide direct support to the SZC Executive team and Board members, preparing materials and briefing for investor engagements, Board meetings, and public disclosures.
* Annual Reporting: Oversee the production of SZC’s Annual Report—owning content development, stakeholder alignment, and governance sign-off.
* Market & Regulatory Insight: Monitor market trends, anticipate stakeholder expectations, and ensure all investor communications are aligned with regulatory requirements and strategic goals.
* Contingency & Issues Management: Lead contingency communications planning and response for investors in collaboration with external comms and legal teams.
* High-Performing Team: Build and lead a lean but capable IR team, fostering a high-performance, delivery-focused culture across finance, communications, and legal interfaces.
What We’re Looking For
You will be a confident and credible communicator with the gravitas to engage at the highest levels of Government and industry. You’ll bring experience from a large, complex, and capital-intensive environment—ideally within energy, infrastructure, regulated utilities, or similarly high-stakes sectors. You understand the nuances of investor expectations and are skilled at translating complex operational and financial data into compelling narratives.
* Proven track record in senior investor relations roles within large-scale organisations (FTSE 250 and above, or equivalent).
* Experience managing relationships with Government stakeholders and institutional investors.
* Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, both written and verbal.
* Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks, governance, and reporting requirements.
* Experience leading high-profile annual report development and investor events.
* Familiarity with complex project-based or capital-intensive environments.
* Experience in energy, infrastructure, or engineering-led environments.
* Exposure to Government partnerships or public-private funding structures.
* Prior involvement in project financing or financial close processes.
Key Attributes
* Strategic thinker with strong political and commercial acumen.
* Highly emotionally intelligent and resilient in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
* A collaborative leader who builds trust and alignment across diverse stakeholder groups.
* Integrity-driven, with a clear commitment to transparency and excellence.

Additional Information
Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.
It’s not every day you get the opportunity to shape the working culture of what will be one of Europe’s largest construction projects, while also helping Britain to reach its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050. That’s one of the reasons Sizewell C will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before, and you’ll need to be an exceptional professional to reach the high standards this critical infrastructure project demands.
The UK is experiencing a nuclear renaissance and Sizewell C – along with its sister project at Hinkley Point C in Somerset – is powering the change. We’re ramping up at pace as we look ahead to the Financial Investment Decision in early 2025, and the start of construction soon after. With government fully on board and public opinion shifting significantly in favour of nuclear, there’s never been a better time to join our project.
