Join to apply for the Executive Vice President, Strategic Situations & Investor Relations - Fintech Clients role at Edelman Smithfield

Edelman Smithfield is a global financial communications firm with the power and scope of Edelman, the world’s largest integrated communications company. We specialize in financial markets and strategic situations, serving clients in the United States, Canada, EMEA, APAC, and beyond. Edelman Smithfield offers a deep and talented bench of approximately 250 financial market specialists across more than 25 cities and 15 countries.

Edelman Smithfield advises senior leaders and management teams navigating complex matters that impact reputation and valuation and has deep expertise in serving and communicating to the financial markets.

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

About Edelman Smithfield

Edelman Smithfield is the go‑to strategic communications and investor relations partner for companies navigating the most critical moments in their corporate life cycle. With the reach and resources of the world’s largest independent communications marketing firm, we advise public and private companies on how to build credibility, attract capital, and protect reputation - whether in times of growth, transformation or challenge.

Our team of former in‑house IROs, sell‑side analysts, and investment bankers works side‑by‑side with Boards and executive teams on everything from ongoing investor relations to IPOs, major M&A, activist defense, restructurings, and high‑stakes crises.

The Opportunity – Build a Business in a High‑Growth Sector

We are looking for a trailblazing leader to spearhead and expand our fintech franchise within Edelman Smithfield. This is a unique opportunity to build and own a high-growth strategic advisory practice in one of the fastest‑evolving sectors of the global economy.

You are entrepreneurial, growth‑oriented, and plugged into the fintech and financial services ecosystems - you know the companies, the key players, the private capital community, and the innovation hubs from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. You thrive at the intersection of strategy, capital markets, and storytelling, and you see market disruption as an opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Lead & Advise

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to Boards and C‑suites, guiding them through earnings cycles, investor days, material announcements, M&A, public listings, shareholder activism, and other transformative events.
  • Shape and deliver high‑impact investor narratives that resonate with analysts, investors, and the market.
  • Lead and mentor account teams to consistently deliver high‑quality work and deepen client relationships.

Build & Grow

  • Drive new business development in fintech and adjacent financial services sectors, leveraging your deep network to win marquee accounts.
  • Collaborate across Edelman’s global network to identify new opportunities and deliver best‑in‑class solutions.
  • Complement Edelman Smithfield’s thought leadership presence through content, events, and speaking engagements.
  • Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field from an accredited college or university is required; MBA or CFA is a plus.
  • Minimum of 15+ years of relevant experience in financial communications.
  • 12+ years of capital markets experience sell‑side, buy‑side, in‑house IR, or advisory, plus a proven record of strategic counsel to senior executives.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep fintech and broader financial services knowledge, with connections across corporates, private equity / VC, bankers, and advisors.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and track record of building business from the ground up.
  • Expertise in building and leading high‑performing teams across multiple disciplines and regions.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both in shaping market‑moving narratives and in navigating high‑stakes conversations.
  • Experience fostering inclusive team environments and practices.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth, opportunity‑rich environment.
  • $250,000 - $369,000 a year

    An employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, travel requirements, revenue‑based metrics, any contractual agreements, and business or organizational needs. The range listed is just one component of DJEH’s total compensation package for employees. Other rewards may include annual bonuses, a Paid Time Off policy, and region‑specific benefits.

    DJEH offers a wide range of benefits : medical and dental insurance, vision, 401K, life insurance, disability insurance, paid time off, travel assistance and wellness programing.

    DJEH is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and believes in diversity, equity, and inclusion. We seek applications from all qualified candidates without regard to race, color, gender, sex, age, religion, physical or mental disability, military and veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law.
