Most IR professionals don't have a clear map of what it takes to advance. They learn by watching, by trial and error, and occasionally from a mentor generous enough to share the unwritten rules. The result is a career path that feels opaque — where progression depends as much on luck and proximity to the right people as it does on performance.
Your Path to Partner starts here.
Our Official Course Partners
Across eight modules, you'll hear directly from practitioners who have navigated every stage of the IR career — from breaking into the industry and building credibility in a first role, to owning LP relationships, earning influence inside a GP, and ultimately having the partner conversation. Each session is a structured conversation with a senior IR professional, designed to surface the practical guidance that rarely gets shared openly.
Whether you're just starting out in IR, pushing for a promotion, or thinking seriously about what partner means at your firm — this course gives you the framework, the language, and the perspective to move forward.
Episode 1: Getting into IR has been made available here.
