Company Overview

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

Role Summary

Blue Energy is pursuing an ambitious clean energy infrastructure strategy across the US and select international markets, underpinned by a multi-stage institutional financing programme. We are seeking a Head of Capital Markets & Investor Relations to join the Executive team at a pivotal moment in the company's growth.

This is a senior, execution-driven role for a seasoned capital markets practitioner who will own Blue Energy's investor relationships, capital markets narrative, and fundraising strategy - from Series B close through additional equity rounds to public market entry. The role carries direct strategic partnership responsibilities to the Board, CEO, and CFO, and demands a candidate with a demonstrable track record across investor targeting, narrative construction, capital structure optimisation, and live transaction execution.

Key Responsibilities

Capital Markets Strategy & Execution

  • Own the company's capital markets strategy, advising the CEO and CFO on capital structure, financing sequencing, and investor targeting across equity and debt.

  • Lead origination, structuring, and execution of corporate equity raises (Series C and beyond), from investor targeting through to close.

  • Coordinate with the CFO, Project Finance Lead, and external advisors to align the corporate equity narrative with lender requirements and bankability criteria.

  • Maintain a current view of capital markets conditions, peer valuations, sector sentiment, and the evolving investor universe.

Investor Relations & Relationship Management

  • Own the investor relations function - manage shareholder register composition, institutional communications, and a proactive engagement programme.

  • Build and maintain relationships with targeted institutional investors (infrastructure funds, pension funds, SWFs, family offices, and strategic investors) ahead of each capital raise.

  • Lead development of the equity narrative: investment case, value creation story, and competitive differentiation for institutional audiences across different mandates.

  • Own production of capital markets materials including investor presentations, IMs, teasers, management Q&A preparation, and VDR organisation.

  • Support the CEO and CFO in investor meetings, roadshows, and management presentations through briefing, preparation, and follow-up management.

Public Market Preparation

  • Lead the strategic programme to prepare for public market entry, including readiness assessment, gap analysis, and sequencing of governance, reporting, audit, and register workstreams.

  • Build relationships with equity research analysts, institutional sales desks, and ECM teams; develop public market valuation frameworks applicable to the company's asset class.

  • Advise on listing venue, transaction structure, timing, and advisor selection; manage the bank beauty parade process.

  • Coordinate with Legal, Finance, and Board to ensure governance, reporting standards, and disclosure obligations are fit-for-purpose for a listed company.

  • Manage all public market disclosure obligations, including prospectus filings, earnings communications, and SEC compliance.

Strategic Finance & Internal Partnership

  • Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and CFO - bring a capital markets perspective to M&A, asset monetisation, portfolio management, and corporate structure decisions.

  • Provide ongoing insight on capital markets conditions, peer transactions, and investor sentiment to support Executive and Board decision-making.

  • Work closely with the Project Finance Lead on alignment between project finance structures and the corporate equity story.

  • Lead and develop any direct reports within the capital markets and IR function.

Qualifications
  • 10+ years of directly relevant experience in capital markets, ECM/M&A investment banking, infrastructure or project finance, or institutional investor relations.

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, Economics, Engineering, or a quantitative discipline. CFA preferred; MBA advantageous but not a substitute for transactional track record.

  • Demonstrable track record of leading or advising on closed equity transactions - private rounds and IPOs.

  • Direct experience executing or advising on infrastructure or energy IPOs on the NYSE.

  • Hands-on experience managing institutional investor relationships, including materials preparation, meeting programmes, and relationship continuity between transactions.

  • Direct exposure to project finance processes and the interface between corporate equity and project-level debt; understanding of bankability concepts and lender requirements.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working in or closely with a growth-stage infrastructure, energy, or real assets company where the capital markets narrative requires education as well as execution.

  • Existing relationships within the infrastructure, energy transition, or growth equity institutional investor community, including DFIs, SWFs, or long-dated infrastructure mandates.

  • Demonstrated ability to build and own a compelling, differentiated investment case that withstands institutional scrutiny.

We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

Blue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway.
