Job Description

Join the game-changers

Become a member of Operational and Technology Risk team and gain a comprehensive understanding of how our company manages risk. Contribute to ensuring that IG is well-prepared to handle risks associated with people, processes, systems and external events.

Join the risk team in one of the leading FinTech companies.

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!

Your role in the Team

You will join the central Technology and Operational Risk team, engaging in daily activities related to fostering risk culture and awareness, managing operational risks, supporting risk framework implementation, it's processes, and governance tasks.

This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with senior managers across the globe, helping you to understand operational risk model and risk management principles, modern technologies and IT processes.

What You’ll Do

  • Improve risk culture and risk awareness in Technology organisation
  • Oversight and challenge technology risk events
  • Coordinate risk and control self-assessment and control sign-off process
  • Provide challenge and support risk treatment process
  • Support Operational Risk and Business teams with maturing control environment
  • Review and examine impact & compliance with regulatory requirements
  • Collect, analyse and deliver Technology KRIs and reporting
  • Support the administration of risk related meetings

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.

What You’ll Need For This Role

  • Demonstrated understanding of IT processes and operational risk frameworks (e.g., ITIL Foundation, ORM, CORM, PECB).
  • Experience with technology regulatory requirement analysis
  • Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills
  • Proven track record of improving risk and control environments
  • At least 1 year of experience in Financial Services organisation is advantageous
  • Excellent organizational skills, especially in meeting facilitation and documentation management
  • Proficiency in English

How You’ll Grow

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way.

And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

Where you’ll work

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy.

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.

So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
