Job Description
So, who are we?
Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves.
We’re a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.
We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.
Did we mention we have offices in 18 countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!
Who we’re looking for?
You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.
We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

Ask our employees what their favorite thing is about working at IG, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! That’s because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business.
That’s why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realize our vision and strategy by delivering at pace and championing the client in everything we do.
About
We also think hard about our ways of working as a company. At IG Group, we’ve set out five target behaviors that we expect everyone to strive to achieve in all that we do:
- Lead & Inspire: Leading teams in a way that drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm
- Think Big: We focus on the problems that most move the needle of commercial outcomes
- Champion the client: We always keep the client's needs front of mind and deliver as much value for them in all that we do
- Deliver at pace: We work to ensure nothing stands in the way of fast delivery of sustainable growth for our business
- Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better all across IG
From The Team
This will be a busy role in a team that introduced a lot of changes to its process over the last couple of years. New perspective from someone with external financial experience can bring a lot of added value to the team and IG’s fast-growing Share Trading business
