Job Description

So, who are we?

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.3m 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 team

Corporate actions play a crucial role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality equity and equity derivative products to our esteemed clients.

We proudly serve clients across various geographical regions, including APAC, EMEA and US.

What you’ll do

As a Corporate Action Analyst, your roles and responsibilities will be: -

• Processing of all Corporate Action events -both Mandatory and Voluntary within IG systems accurately and in a timely manner

Who we’re looking for?
