Ripple the blockchain-based payment protocol company, has recently posted a job opening for a Senior Shareholder Communications Manager, further stoking speculation about a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO). The announcement was made on Tuesday, intensifying the ongoing discussions surrounding Ripple‘s future plans.
The new role is expected to report to the Senior Vice President of People and Communications. The responsibilities include working closely with the Chief Financial Officer and managing investor relations, non-deal roadshows, and high-impact corporate events such as mergers and acquisitions. This has led observers to believe that Ripple might be preparing for significant corporate changes, possibly including an IPO.
In addition to communicating Ripple’s strategy and performance to shareholders, the Senior Shareholder Communications Manager will also collaborate with the Product and Marketing teams. The collaboration aims at creating presentations, developing case studies, conducting analyses, and preparing fact sheets for shareholders. The manager will also participate in executive speaking engagements.
The inclusion of tasks related to investor relations and corporate events in the job description has fueled the IPO speculation. While no official confirmation regarding an IPO has been released by Ripple, this recent development suggests that the company might be gearing up for some significant strategic moves in the near future.
The blockchain-based payment protocol company has been under scrutiny due to legal issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, this recent job posting indicates that Ripple is continuing to plan for its future growth despite these challenges.
