Senior Manager Investor Relations

About the role

H&P is seeking an Investor Relations professional to take a hands-on, highly visible role at the center of the company's engagement with the investment community. Reporting to the Vice President of FP&A and Investor Relations, this individual will own core operational and analytical pillars of the IR function—including earnings materials, the investor engagement calendar, and day-to-day analyst and shareholder relationships—with direct exposure to senior management.

This is a strong next step for an experienced IR professional ready to run significant pieces of the function independently, or for an investment banking or equity research professional looking to move in-house into a corporate leadership role. This position offers genuine ownership of core IR deliverables from day one, direct visibility with the CFO and executive team, and a clear path to grow within the investor relations and broader finance function.

Responsibilities

• Earnings materials — Support the VP of FP&A & IR in the earnings process, including drafting and coordinating earnings releases, scripts, presentation decks, and supporting materials in partnership with FP&A, Legal, and executive leadership.
• Investor calendar — Build and manage the investor engagement calendar, including quarterly earnings logistics, non-deal roadshows, investor conferences, and management access programs. Accompany the management team at investor events.
• Street engagement — Serve as a regular point of contact for sell-side analysts and institutional investors, fielding inbound inquiries and helping shape the narrative around company strategy and performance.
• Market intelligence — Track sell-side estimates and manage the consensus model, monitor peer and sector developments, and prepare briefing materials for the VP of FP&A & IR, CFO, and CEO ahead of investor interactions.
• Content ownership — Help maintain the IR website, shareholder letters, fact sheets, and other recurring investor-facing content.
• Targeting and Surveillance — Act as a key partner to the VP of FP&A & IR on shareholder targeting, perception studies, shareholder surveillance and board-level reporting on investor sentiment.
• Special projects — Represent IR in cross-functional projects and studies with Strategy, FP&A, and Treasury tied to capital markets activity.
• People Leadership — Directly supervise Investor Relations & Sustainability personnel and provide leadership aligned with Company values. Manage workload planning and resource allocation across the Investor Relations function.

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of relevant experience in investor relations, investment banking, equity research, or a closely related capital markets role.
• Direct exposure to earnings cycles, financial modeling, and capital markets communications; energy or energy-adjacent sector experience strongly preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to operate independently and represent the company externally.
• Bachelor's degree required; CFA or MBA a plus, though not required for the right candidate.
• High degree of ownership and comfort operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, senior-facing environment.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a candidate who has operated as a strong #2 or #3 within a corporate Investor Relations team, or who brings comparable external experience and is ready to step into a senior IR seat.

Backgrounds we're particularly interested in include:

• In-house IR — Corporate IR professionals who have run significant pieces of the earnings cycle and investor calendar and are ready for broader ownership.
• Investment banking — Professionals from investment banking (coverage or capital markets) looking to transition in-house, with strong modeling, communication, and executive-presence skills.
• Equity research — Analysts or associates from large energy-focused research houses who know the sector, the investor base, and how the Street thinks about names like H&P.
