Job Description

We're seeking a dynamic Senior B2C Marketing Executive to drive our tactical marketing efforts across the UK. This role is perfect for a hands-on marketer who thrives on executing campaigns and delivering measurable results.

The role will support both brand campaigns and more tactical opportunities through the year - including our official sponsorship of the England cricket team - as we seek to grow IG's customer base and revenues through marketing investment.

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

The UK is IG Group's biggest market by revenues, and IG is the biggest brand in the UK leveraged trading sector. The UK marketing team spends millions of pounds on brand, sponsorship and agencies each year to grow our customer base and revenues.

The role reports to the Head of Brand & Communications and is a key role for the UK marketing team.

The UK is also a huge opportunity for IG. We start from a position of strength but we have opportunities to diversify into adjacent products; challenge other brands with higher customer volumes (but lower revenues); and grow engagement with our existing, loyal base. This role is all about developing and executing on that growth opportunity.

What you’ll do

• Owning the UK marketing calendar to maintain a single, prioritised programme of work 
• Supporting delivery of key campaigns and projects, coordinating with campaign managers, agency partners, media owners and other stakeholders to ensure the timely supply of high quality, effective solutions and assets
