With operations spanning eighteen countries across Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and North America, IG Group offers clients access to approximately 19,000 financial markets, including shares, forex, indices, and commodities.
IG Group is undergoing a significant transformation, led by CEO Breon Corcoran, appointed in early 2024, and a leadership team that includes newly appointed executives. Our focus is on three areas: delivering quality product to our customers to better meet their needs, embedding a high-performance culture across the organisation, and being more efficient and scalable in how we service our customers through digitisation. All of this is in service of growing our user base and our revenue on a sustainable basis.
As Finance Systems Manager, you will lead the team responsible for IG's financial reconciliation and treasury systems, with particular ownership of the AutoRek platform.

This role sits within the Finance Systems & Change team, part of IG's global Finance function. The team owns IG's finance technology landscape: maintaining business-as-usual operations across all finance systems, delivering enhancements and new solutions, and driving the digitisation of the finance function. As IG pursues a more efficient and scalable operating model, the team is central to IG's finance transformation — modernising platforms, improving data quality, and enabling finance to deliver faster, more reliable insight to the business.
