The size and listing status of the employer moves pay more than anything else, since a small ASX-listed company pays well below a top-tier or dual-listed group. Seniority and scope matter too: a manager who fronts investor meetings and owns the results process sits well above a coordinator producing materials. Bonuses tied to company performance, and share-based incentives in some firms, can add a meaningful amount on top of base pay.

How to negotiate a higher investor relations manager salary
- Know the market rate before you ask. The median full-time investor relations manager salary is $148,200; use that, not a guess, as your anchor, and adjust for your experience and employer.
- Lead with what's scarce, not just tenure. Skills like Financial reporting and Financial analysis and modelling tend to command a premium over general investor relations manager experience, name them specifically when you ask.
- Bring a real alternative to the table. Chief Financial Officer pays a typical $104,000 a year more and draws on similar skills, even mentioning you're weighing it up is a legitimate data point in a pay conversation.
- Time it deliberately. Reviews, the end of a project you delivered, or taking on responsibility beyond your job description are stronger moments to ask than an arbitrary date on the calendar.
- Ask for a number, not a raise. "Based on the market rate and [specific contribution], I'd like to move to X" gets a clearer answer than "I think I deserve more."
