Our established team of personnel combine a broad range of skills to support you in your IR Global membership. Below, we explore the primary roles of each of our teams and how they help drive the success of the network.
Business Development
Our business development team is pivotal in driving the growth and expansion of the IR Global network, focusing on sourcing and onboarding new members who align with our ethos.
Beyond member acquisition, this team is also instrumental in helping existing members utilise their membership and maximise the value they are getting from the platform. This includes handling recommendations for new members, supporting our client manager team on virtual calls, and assisting with the coordination of regional member-hosted events.

Client Managers
Our client managers are your primary point of contact for any membership-related inquiries. From the moment you join, you’ll be assigned a dedicated client manager who will check in with you quarterly throughout the year.
They are here to assist with facilitating connections, sharing your firm’s news, and hosting useful bi-monthly Membership Insights calls that help you fully leverage your membership. Furthermore, they can talk you through your exclusive membership toolkit, providing you with IR Global network branding, and advise you on how to promote and drive your own membership. Your client manager is your go-to for notification of referral activity, planning a regional member meeting, and sharing your network activity.

Operations & Events
Our operations and events team ensure the smooth running of IR Global and are the organisers of each international event we host per year.
This work begins long before the events themselves; they handle all of the logistics, from sourcing hotels and locations all the way to successfully delivering the event. They also manage our bespoke events app, unique to each IR Global conference and tailored to enhance member experience.
