Job Description:

IG Incubator


We are expanding our share dealing and investing offering, building on our core competencies in design, execution and user experience to deliver a market-leading proposition to new and existing IG customers globally.

This will be an incubated business with dedicated teams operating in a startup fashion.

Join the game-changers


IG is hiring for an experienced Head of Risk & Compliance for its new business offering within the trading and investing space.

The role will report to the Group Chief Compliance Officer, based in our London office, and will work closely with the Group Risk and Compliance teams in the UK, Poland and South Africa.


The role will be the primary contact for the businesses' regulators and will be a designated Compliance Oversight role in this respect.

Who we are


A global leader in online trading and investments: With operations in 20 countries across five continents, we challenge ourselves to develop the world's best technology, platforms, products, and exchanges - opening up a wider range of trading and investment opportunities to ambitious people around the world.

  • Providing advisory support to the commercial business and frontline teams on regulatory compliance matters, and on identification, measurement, monitoring and control of key risks.
