About Main Sequence

Main Sequence (MSV) stands as Australia's premier deep technology venture capital firm managing over $1 billion across three funds. We invest in revolutionary technologies such as quantum computing, synthetic biology, climate initiatives, space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Currently, we are in the process of raising our fourth fund.

Role Overview

As the Investor Relations Manager, you will be crucial in managing relationships with existing and potential Limited Partners (LPs). This foundational role ensures that Partners are thoroughly prepared for all investor meetings and that every necessary preparatory task—research, material creation, scheduling, CRM oversight, and diligent follow-up—is executed flawlessly. The role relieves Partners from groundwork responsibilities, allowing them to focus on engaging conversations with well-qualified investors.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a custom investor engagement strategy targeting potential and current LPs by identifying and researching high-potential prospects such as family offices, pension funds, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and wealth managers.
• Conduct proactive outreach and qualification of investor interest ahead of Partner involvement, scheduling impactful meetings aligned with Partner availability and strategic investor locations.
• Maintain and tailor presentation materials and decks to showcase Main Sequence’s performance and unique value propositions for diverse audiences, including adjusting narratives appropriately for both domestic and international investors.
• Manage the calendar for key investor events including conferences, annual general meetings, roadshows, and webinars, ensuring optimal meeting scheduling, note-taking, and follow-up.
• Oversee investor communications including quarterly updates, due diligence questionnaire responses, and briefing notes to ensure timely and transparent reporting, fostering investor confidence and satisfaction.
• Administer the investor data room and CRM system meticulously, ensuring all records, interactions, and next steps are accurately documented and synchronized with the finance team as required.

Candidate Profile

You are an agile learner with strong consulting instincts, naturally supporting investor-facing teams efficiently and proactively. Your confidence and stakeholder management skills enable you to engage senior leaders independently, maintain momentum, and ensure deadlines are met without waiting for direction.
