# Investor Relations & Distribution Associate

> ARVO · Johannesburg, South Africa (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-03

**Salary:** unknown currency 900,000–1,100,000

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** ARVO Client

## Description

**Location:** Johannesburg

**Sector:** Renewable Energy / Alternative Investments

Our client develops, owns, and operates renewable energy assets across South Africa, with a primary focus on commercial and industrial (C&I) solar PV and battery energy storage systems. The business delivers clean, reliable, decentralised power solutions that help companies reduce costs, improve energy resilience, and meet sustainability targets.

With R1bn+ in assets under management, the business is scaling its capital and asset base and is looking for a high-calibre Associate to support and lead investor-facing activity across the full retail capital-raise cycle for a structured, tax-efficient investment vehicle.

The successful candidate will be the face of the fund to intermediaries and investors — managing queries, coordinating onboarding, and ensuring every touchpoint reflects the professionalism expected at this level of the market.

### Responsibilities

**Investor Relations**

-   Serve as primary point of contact for IFAs, wealth managers, tax practitioners, and direct HNW investors
-   Handle inbound queries on fund structure, product mechanics, tax treatment, and returns — with accuracy and professionalism
-   Manage LP onboarding end-to-end: FICA, subscription documentation, SARS confirmations, and post-investment correspondence
-   Proactively communicate fund updates, deployment milestones, and material developments to investors

**Distribution Support**

-   Support IFA and intermediary outreach: prepare tailored pitch materials, schedule meetings, and follow up post-presentation
-   Attend investor events, roadshows, and adviser briefings; contribute to or lead group presentations as required
-   Build and maintain strong working relationships with key distribution partners

**Pipeline & Administration**

-   Maintain CRM / pipeline tracker with zero missed follow-ups or outstanding items
-   Track intermediary engagement, investor commitments, and subscription status across all channels
-   Coordinate with fund administration on documentation workflows and compliance requirements
-   Prepare weekly pipeline reports and raise status updates

**Materials & Presentations**

-   Produce investor-facing materials: fund summaries, FAQs, one-pagers, and updated slide decks
-   Maintain accurate, current versions of all fund documentation and ensure consistency across channels
-   Assist with LP communications, quarterly updates, and ad hoc investor letters

**Fund Raise Operations**

-   Flag risks, delays, or investor concerns early and proactively
-   Manage own workload under deadline pressure, without close supervision

**Direct-to-Market Channel Build**

-   Lead the build-out of a direct-to-market investor acquisition channel, reducing reliance on third-party intermediaries over time
-   Own the direct investor journey end-to-end — from first enquiry through FICA, subscription, and funding
-   Track direct-channel performance separately from intermediary channels to inform unit economics and channel mix decisions

**Operational Infrastructure**

-   Build and own the systems (CRM, pipeline tracker, document workflows) needed to onboard and manage investors and distribution channels at scale
-   Standardise onboarding workflows across channels so the process doesn't depend on institutional memory

## Requirements

**Essential**

-   3–7 years' experience in financial services — asset management, wealth management, private equity, investment banking, or a specialist fund environment
-   Direct investor or client-facing experience in a professional financial services context
-   Tertiary qualification in Finance, Investments, Accounting, or a related field (BCom or equivalent minimum)
-   Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to simplify complex concepts for sophisticated investors
-   Proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel; able to build polished materials independently
-   Demonstrable track record of managing high volumes of investor or client correspondence without errors or omissions

**Advantageous**

-   Strong working knowledge of investment products, fund structures, and tax-efficient vehicles
-   Experience with structured tax investment products (e.g. Section 12B/12J)
-   Exposure to en commandite partnerships, SPV structures, or infrastructure / renewable energy funds
-   CFA, CFP, or postgraduate finance qualification
-   Existing network within the IFA, wealth management, or tax advisory community in South Africa

**Qualitative Fit**

-   Works well in a team
-   Communicates proactively, with quality
-   Strong attention to detail
-   Presents well
-   Takes ownership and accountability
-   Wants to be part of a growing organisation
