Hello, we’re IG Group. We are a publicly-traded FTSE250 FinTech company who run mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade stocks & shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.

We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We’re global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions.

We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.

Your role in the Team’s Success

We are seeking a passionate and creative PR & Communications Manager to join our growing team at an exciting time of transformation. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the public perception of IG and driving impactful brand awareness. From playful stunts, to press releases, to campaigns and special projects, you’ll play a key role in delivering these and making sure they are fully on brand and aligned with our business targets.

• Collaborate with the Head of Brand and Communications, Customer Insights and agency partners to develop and launch a consistent and compelling messaging framework across all communication channels.

What You'll Need For This Role

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives and communicate complex information clearly and concisely.
• An interest in undertaking tasks outside of a traditional PR role – there's a lot to do at IG and so a general interest in strategic projects relating to communications is key.
• Experience in developing and executing successful PR campaigns, from concept to execution.
• Ability to work independently and proactively, while also effectively collaborating with cross-functional teams.
