Head of Investor Relations

Location: Prague, Czech Republic; Group career pages; Jobs.cz Workplace: Hybrid Rohlik is three stories in one: the leading online grocer in Central Europe with more than €1 billion in revenue, a fast-growing business in Germany, and Veloq, the technology platform that runs our operations and that we now sell to other grocers. Investors will want to know how these fit together, what each is worth and whether management delivers what it says. Your job is to make the answers clear, consistent and backed by numbers, long before any listing. Rohlik is entering a new stage of its growth, and we are building a dedicated Investor Relations function for the first time. We are looking for a Head of Investor Relations who will build IR from the ground up, prepare Rohlik for the requirements of the public markets and, in the future, run Investor Relations for a listed company. You will report to the Group CFO. Finance owns the numbers. You will own how those numbers become a credible, consistent story for investors — and challenge that story before anyone outside the company does. This is a senior, highly visible Individual Contributor role, supported by FP&A, Financial Reporting and the wider Finance organisation. WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING - Build IR from zero. You will shape the function, processes and investor approach from the beginning. - Shape the equity story. You will influence the narrative, KPIs and financial story before they become established market expectations. - Partner directly with the Group CFO on investor communication, strategic messaging and capital-markets topics. - A rare listing. Few tech-led companies from Central Europe have gone to public markets. You would take one there. - Build long-term investor relationships across Europe and the US while creating an AI-enabled IR setup from day one. WHAT YOU WILL OWN AND DELIVER - Build and continuously sharpen Rohlik’s equity story, connecting the narrative to a clear and consistent set of KPIs - Own communication with existing shareholders, prospective investors and bondholders - Build relationships with investors and analysts and become the primary point of contact for performance, modelling and the long-term investment story - Partner with FP&A and Financial Reporting to ensure one consistent set of numbers across investor, Board and external materials - Develop the KPI and guidance framework and lead investor education through roadshows, conferences and one-to-one meetings - Lead the IR workstream for any future IPO, including analyst presentations, prospectus content, roadshow materials and investor Q&A - Establish the processes required for life as a listed company, including results communication, sell-side coverage, investor calendar and disclosure requirements - Build an AI-enabled IR infrastructure, including investor CRM, Q&A libraries and automated KPI and reporting packs WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - 8+ years of relevant experience across Investor Relations, equity research, Equity Capital Markets or a comparable capital-markets environment - Ideally, experience taking at least one company through an IPO from the issuer side - Strong relationships with institutional investors, ideally across Europe and the US - Deep financial understanding — you can challenge IFRS financial statements, financial models, unit economics and key operating metrics - Strong understanding of public-company disclosure requirements, including MAR, inside information and quiet periods - Executive presence and confidence representing the company independently in front of investors and analysts - Strong judgement, independence and willingness to challenge the narrative when the numbers do not support it - Hands-on use of AI and modern tools - Fluent English - Based in Prague, with regular travel to London, Frankfurt, New York and other financial centres - Experience from consumer, retail, e-commerce or technology would be particularly relevant.
