Director, Investor Relations

Blackbird

Quantum Computing Investor Relations Manager

PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computersmachines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.

Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industryincluding partners like GlobalFoundrieswe use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically definingand that now is the time to scale.

PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companiesincluding Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemicalto prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.

Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shiftand a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real.

Come join us.

Reporting to our CFO and partnering with our CEO, executive team, communications and finance teams, the person will have overall responsibility for the strategic planning and ongoing development of all investor relations activities with the aim of increasing shareholder value and continually enhancing PsiQuantum's perception within the investment community. The role is ideal for someone coming from the computing or technology industry with a focus on investor relations, finance, equity research, venture capital or investment banking who wants to move into an operating role while staying close to capital strategy and high-impact decision making.
