How to boost your IR salary and measure your IR success: The Ticker 146

In the latest episode of The Ticker podcast, we talk everything careers. IR Magazine reporter Noemi Distefano is joined by Oskar Yasar, managing partner at Broome Yasar, and Smooch Repovich Rosenberg, founder and CEO of Smooch Unplugged, for a career-centric conversation. As highly regarded figures in the global IR recruitment scene, Yasar and Repovich Rosenberg provide actionable insights on navigating the ever-evolving IR environment, share the importance of personal brand awareness in career progression and delve into factors influencing IR compensation. ‘What’s really important is having the credibility and the confidence of knowing what your personal brand is,’ Yasar notes. ‘If you don’t know what it is you’re bringing to the table, how is the person on the other side of the table going to buy that product? We are all commodities; we are bought and sold.’For Repovich Rosenberg, the IR function calls for a focus on intangible leadership attributes now more than ever.  ‘The IR role is that of being a key adviser to management and the board and you have to be able to think quickly on your feet and pivot,’ she says. ‘Gone are the days when an IRO could be stuck in a linear track.’ In the second part of the episode, Garnet Roach interviews Jill Chapman, head of IR and corporate development at Hilton, a four-trophy winner at this year’s IR Magazine Awards – US.
