Job Title

Engineering Manager - Pricing Technology

Job Description

So, who are we?

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.4m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof. We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated. What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that's rare in established businesses.

The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.

Join us at IG – the future gets built here.

Your role in the team

As a trusted business partner, the Engineering Manager will support the bridge between technology and the wider IG team and will need a commercial mindset and be comfortable working together across the business, partnering among others with Trading, Risk & Compliance stakeholders. You’ll support the Head of Core Trading in creating an ambitious technology and digital strategy that will inspire a vision for the art of the possible and support the creation of products and services that are loved by our clients.

What you'll do

• - Contribute to designing a compelling vision for the future of Core Technology, enabling it to deliver on the needs of IG
• - Ensuring the day-to-day technology services within the Pricing Technology domain are fit for purpose and aligned to the overall IG risk appetite and are yielding the desired results for our clients
• - Translating commercial, business and technology strategy into actionable product and delivery outcomes whilst supporting the creation of a compelling experience for customers
• - Influencing for positive outcomes across the Core Technology leadership team and contributing to the Extended Leadership Team of IG Group Technology
• - Creating and championing a culture of innovation across Core Technology and more broadly in IG at every opportunity
• - Staying connected to the outside market, adopting future-forward technology for the benefit of IG
• - Supporting the communication of a vision that attracts great technology talent and inspires the team to achieve the art of the possible
• - Nurturing a leadership team to elevate energy and ambition
• - Acting as a role model for IG’s culture and behaviours with all stakeholders

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 corporation 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

• - Experience leading at a senior level with a comprehensive understanding of the latest technology and platforms.
• - Hands-on experience creating and designing technology strategy and architectures, software engineering & IT leadership.
• - Demonstrable use of technical knowledge and commercial acumen to influence business strategy
• - Has experience in introducing and influencing change within organisations.
• - Experience managing teams globally and across IT disciplines, identifying and nurturing talent.
• - Has a clear understanding of what a modern and efficient, engineering-led Technology function looks like
• - Has experience with AI First Engineering practices including End to End AI Spec driven development
• - Demonstrable experience with building and scaling low latency market data pricing and distribution platforms.
• - Real-world experience in managing and modernising mission-critical complex, legacy systems an advantage
• - Experience in building and managing global shared technology platforms for use by multiple different functions an advantage

The perks

It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.

• - Competitive salary
• - Flexible Benefits Package on top of your salary (12%)
• - Private medical cover
• - Life insurance
• - Contribution to gym memberships
• - 25 Days holiday, with 1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday & 2 additional days off a year for voluntary work (28 in total
• - The option to buy or sell holiday days.
• - Unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning Platform
• - A comprehensive global and local onboarding process
• - Employee-led LGBTQ+, Women’s, Black and Parents & Carers networks with an annual budget for organising events & projects that foster an open, diverse and inclusive culture
• - Option to participate and create ESG initiatives based on IG Brighter Future Fund
