Job Description

Executive Coach, Investor Relations & Pitch Readiness Location: Remote / Hybrid | Engagement Type: Contract / Fractional or Full-Time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Executive Coach to work one-on-one with senior leaders, founders, and executives preparing for high-stakes investor and financial conversations. This coach will serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner, helping clients sharpen their narratives, strengthen their presence, and develop the confidence and fluency needed to succeed in pitch meetings, banker dialogues, roadshows, and investor relations engagements.

The ideal candidate brings deep familiarity with the investor landscape, from venture capital and private equity to public markets and investment banking, and has a track record of preparing executives to perform at their best when capital, relationships, and reputation are on the line.

What You'll Do

  • Coach executives and founders through the full arc of investor readiness, from refining the investment thesis to polishing final delivery.
  • Conduct mock pitch sessions and simulated Q&A with rigorous, realistic feedback modeled on how investors and bankers actually probe.
  • Help clients develop and pressure-test financial narratives, including story structure, key metrics framing, and handling of sensitive topics (burn rate, churn, competitive risk, etc.).
  • Advise on executive presence, communication style, pacing, body language, and how to command a room with both slides and without.
  • Prepare clients for banker conversations, including capital raise discussions, M&A processes, IPO readiness, and structured finance dialogues.
  • Partner with leadership teams on messaging alignment so investors hear a consistent, credible story across the organization.
  • Provide written coaching notes, session recaps, and actionable development plans after each engagement.
  • Support preparation for board presentations, analyst days, earnings calls, and other high-visibility financial communications.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in executive coaching, investor relations, investment banking, venture capital, private equity, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated success coaching senior leaders through pitch processes, fundraising rounds, or capital markets transactions.
  • Fluency in financial concepts, deal structures, and the language investors and bankers use — you don't just coach presence, you coach substance.
  • Experience working with founders, C-suite executives, or investor relations officers at growth-stage or public companies.
  • Exceptional communication and listening skills; the ability to give direct, candid feedback in a way that motivates rather than deflates.
  • ICF certification or equivalent coaching credential strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with VC/PE fundraising processes, investment banking mandates, or public company IR programs.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to different industries, business models, and personality types.
