Investor Relations Manager

Summary:

Do you love telling a company's story in numbers? Are you energized by financial markets and connecting with the investment community? Our mission at Yelp is to connect people with great local businesses, and that starts with people like you. As a publicly traded company (NYSE: YELP), Yelp relies on clear, credible and consistent communication with shareholders, analysts and the broader investment community.

The Investor Relations team is a small, high-impact group that works closely with executive leadership, Finance, Legal and Communications. As an Investor Relations Manager, you'll report directly to the Director of Investor Relations and help shape how Yelp presents its strategy, financial performance and long-term value to the market. Working side by side with the Director, you'll get exposure across the business and to our senior leadership team. As you progress in your career, you will unlock increased compensation, title, and responsibilities to keep you moving in the right direction.

Yelp is where you can be part of an empowering mission and build a rewarding career that grows with you. Yelp is powered by a global community of collaborative people with shared values. We're tenacious individuals who believe in our mission to connect people to great local businesses. Yelp is a remote workplace where your work makes a difference, where you are seen as a whole person, and where you will grow with our support and guidance. If you're looking for a career (not a job) with a company that is invested in you as a whole person, from personal development, compensation, training, and more, we know just the place.

• Manage day-to-day relationships with buy-side investors and sell-side analysts, including inbound inquiries, meeting logistics and follow-ups.
