Centreville, VA Full time

About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use):

10

Role Title: Investor Relations & Financial Analyst
Experience Level: 2–3 years
Location: VA, Hybrid
Reports To: Head of Investor Relations (Mobility Global)
Team: Investor Relations (partnering closely with Finance/FP&A, Accounting, Legal, Corporate Communications)

S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company.  For more information, visit www.spglobal.com/mobility. 

Position Overview

Mobility Global is preparing to become a newly independent, publicly traded company following its separation from S&P Global (SPGI). This role is built for someone who thrives in high-ownership environments and wants to help establish a best-in-class Investor Relations function, from day-one public-company readiness through the first quarters as a standalone company.

You will sit at the intersection of financial analysis, earnings execution, and capital markets messaging. You’ll help build the infrastructure and operating rhythm that enables Mobility Global to communicate a credible, consistent investment thesis, grounded in rigorous FP&A alignment and high-integrity disclosures, while navigating the unique challenges of a spin (new benchmarks, new modeling assumptions, evolving KPIs, and heightened investor scrutiny).

What makes this role different (Mobility Global context)

As a soon-to-be spun entity, we are building and refining core IR capabilities in parallel with the separation effort, including:

  • Standalone narrative and KPI framework: Helping define/pressure-test the metrics and story investors will underwrite as Mobility Global establishes its independent identity.

  • Spin-related financial complexity: Supporting modeling and disclosure readiness around separation impacts (e.g., new cost structure, allocation changes, stranded costs, TSA impacts, standalone capital structure, and new peer sets).

  • High-visibility execution: Contributing directly to early earnings cycles where credibility, consistency, and “no surprises” matter disproportionately for a new ticker.
     

Key Responsibilities

1) Earnings cycle execution & disclosure “source of truth”

  • Own the “tick & tie” discipline across earnings materials: press release, investor deck, earnings script, and Q&A support, ensuring every disclosed figure is reconciled to internal FP&A and accounting-approved outputs.

  • Draft, build, and refine quarterly deliverables (earnings release, slides, script, prepared remarks, talking points), partnering with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and Communications to ensure accuracy and appropriate framing.

  • Coordinate earnings logistics end-to-end, including:

    • Regulatory disclosure distribution via wire service (e.g., Business Wire).

    • Webcast and earnings call logistics (calendar, run-of-show, dry runs, speaker prep, vendor coordination).

2) “Investigative prep” and internal intelligence gathering

  • Proactively identify likely investor/analyst pressure points and “blind spots” (mix, growth drivers, margin progression, KPI definitions, pipeline/volume indicators, pricing, churn/retention where applicable).

  • Run cross-functional diligence with Sales, Operations, Product, and Finance to build fact-based responses for tough questions, especially important during the first quarters post-separation when comparability questions are most intense.

  • Build and maintain a living earnings Q&A library and issue tracker, integrating learnings from analyst calls, investor meetings, and competitor commentary.

3) Street consensus, modeling, and peer/competitive intelligence

  • Maintain and analyze the Street consensus template (sell-side models), with particular focus on reconciling differences vs. internal outlook and identifying the root drivers of variance.

  • Use FactSet to monitor consensus, estimate changes, key sell-side assumption shifts, and investor sentiment signals.

  • Perform structured competitor and peer teardowns (earnings releases, decks, transcripts) and translate findings into concise leadership briefings: “what they said, what it implies, how it changes investor expectations for us.”

4) Strategic analysis, valuation support & shareholder tracking

  • Support internal valuation and capital markets analysis (DCF, multiples, scenario analysis, cost of capital sensitivities), especially as Mobility Global establishes standalone trading comparables and messaging on value creation.

  • Conduct shareholder and trading analysis: monitor institutional ownership, flows, notable position changes, and read-throughs from market activity; summarize implications for leadership.

  • Help prepare for investor engagement (roadshows, conferences, NDRs): briefing notes, investor profiles, Q&A prep, and post-meeting readouts.

5) Investor Day Planning & Execution

  • Lead and coordinate the end-to-end planning and execution of Mobility Global’s Investor Day.

    • Project Management: Develop and manage the Investor Day project plan, including timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional workstreams (Finance, Product, Operations, Legal, Communications).

    • Stakeholder Engagement: Coordinate with external agencies, event vendors, and internal teams to ensure a seamless event experience for both in-person and virtual attendees.
       

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 2–3 years in Equity Research, Investment Banking, Corporate FP&A, Corporate Development, or a similarly rigorous analytical role.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related quantitative discipline.

  • Tools / Technical:

    • Advanced Excel (complex formulas, reconciliation workflows, scenario modeling; high comfort working with large templates).

    • PowerPoint (executive-ready investor decks with strong visual/analytical hygiene).

    • FactSet or Equivalent (consensus, estimates, ownership, and market data workflows).

  • Data integrity mindset: Demonstrated “perfectionist” approach to reconciliation, version control, and precision—comfortable owning the last-mile detail that protects external credibility.

  • Communication: Ability to translate complex performance drivers into clear, investor-grade narrative; strong writing and synthesis.

  • Operating style: Self-starter with strong judgment, able to manage multiple deadlines under earnings-cycle pressure and ambiguity typical of a new standalone company.

Success in the role looks like

  • Mobility Global’s earnings materials and disclosures are consistently accurate, tightly reconciled, and investor ready.

  • Leadership is prepared with crisp, fact-based answers to the hardest questions, especially those unique to separation and early standalone quarters.

  • The Street model set is tracked with discipline; deviations vs. internal outlook are understood early, and IR messaging is adjusted proactively.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact role with direct exposure to the Head of IR and close partnership with senior finance leadership. You’ll help build the IR operating cadence and credibility foundation for Mobility Global as a newly independent public company, an uncommon chance to shape how a new issuer defines itself to the market from the start.

Certainly! Here’s how you can add Investor Day responsibility to the job description for the Investor Relations & Financial Analyst role at Mobility Global. This addition is tailored to the context of a newly spun-off public company, where Investor Day is a critical event for establishing credibility and communicating the company’s long-term vision.
