Associate, Investment Banking Investor Relations

Firm: Chronic Capital LLC

Location: 24 School St., Boston, MA 02108 (In-person, 5 days per week)

Position: Associate, Investment Banking Investor Relations

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Firm

Chronic Capital is a boutique investment bank focused on capital raises for the lower middle market ($5–$250M). Our coverage industries include real estate, health & wellness, life sciences, essential services, aviation, business services, consumer, specialty, and more. We partner with entrepreneurs, founders, and innovators to help them access the capital they need to grow their business. In addition to capital raises, we provide M&A support, sponsor coverage, and advisory services.

About the Role

We are seeking a personable, highly organized Associate to join our Capital Markets team in an investor-relations–focused capacity. In this role, you will be the connective tissue between Chronic Capital and the capital providers we work with — building and maintaining our investor network, driving outreach, and managing relationships throughout each engagement. You will own investor communications, coordinate marketing and outreach efforts across live mandates, and serve as a trusted point of contact for the lenders, sponsors, family offices, and institutional investors in our universe. This is a relationship-driven, high-ownership role for someone who is energized by building a network, communicates exceptionally well, and wants broad exposure across our coverage industries in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Responsibilities

• Build, expand, and maintain Chronic Capital's network of capital providers — lenders, private credit funds, equity sponsors, family offices, and institutional investors — and serve as a primary point of contact.
• Manage investor outreach across live capital raises: identify and prioritize the right investors for each mandate, run distribution, and track engagement through to commitment.
• Own the firm's CRM and investor database — keeping contacts, mandates, preferences, and activity accurate, current, and actionable.
• Coordinate and prepare investor-facing materials, including teasers, marketing decks, and investor updates, working with senior bankers to ensure messaging is clear and consistent.
• Schedule and support investor meetings and calls; prepare briefing materials, capture follow-ups, and ensure timely, professional responses.
• Manage data room access and diligence requests, serving as the day-to-day liaison among investors, clients, and counsel.
• Track the capital-raise pipeline and investor feedback, and report status and next steps to the deal team.
• Maintain relationships between active engagements through regular touchpoints, market updates, and ongoing investor engagement.
• Support business development by mapping new investor relationships and helping prepare materials for new-business meetings.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, business, communications, or a related field.
• 1–4 years of relevant experience in investor relations, capital markets, fundraising, business development, sales, or a comparable relationship-driven role (investment banking, private credit, or private equity backgrounds welcome).
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly with investors and produce polished, client-ready materials.
• Strong relationship-building and interpersonal skills; comfortable initiating and sustaining conversations with capital providers.
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage many relationships and workstreams simultaneously.
• Proficiency with CRM tools and Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook); a working understanding of financial concepts and capital structures.
• FINRA Series 79 and Series 63 licenses (or ability to obtain within 90 days).
• Proficient working with large data sets — organizing, analyzing, and drawing insight from investor and market data.
• Experienced in building and maintaining data systems (e.g., CRM/investor databases, pipelines, and reporting workflows).
• High level of professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment when handling confidential information.
• Self-starter mentality with a strong work ethic and the ability to thrive in a small, entrepreneurial team.
• Able to work in-person at our Boston office five days per week.

Preferred

• Existing relationships with capital providers, lenders, sponsors, or family offices.
• Experience supporting lower-middle-market capital raises, fundraising, or investor relations.
• Familiarity with one or more of our coverage industries (real estate, health & wellness, essential services, aviation, business services, consumer, or specialty).
• Progress toward the CFA designation or a relevant graduate degree.
