Build the team and select advisors: recruit develop and manage a small in-house team and select and manage external investor relations advisors if and as needed
Bring structuring judgment to the table. Financing structure sits with the CFO but this role needs enough structural fluency to explain and defend the capital stack in an investor meeting unaccompanied and to flag when the market will not accept what has been proposed
