How you’ll work 

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds.  This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. 

Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy. 

Ask our employees what their favorite thing is about working at IG, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! That’s because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business. 

That’s why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realize our vision and strategy by delivering at pace and championing the client in everything we do. 

We also think hard about our ways of working as a company. At IG Group, we’ve set out five target behaviours that we expect everyone to strive to achieve in all that we do: 

• Lead & Inspire: Leading teams in a way that drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm; 

• Think Big: We focus on the problems that most move the needle of commercial outcomes; 

• Champion the client: We always keep the client's needs front of mind and deliver as much value for them in all that we do; 

• Deliver at pace: We work to ensure nothing stands in the way of fast delivery of sustainable growth for our business; and 

• Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better all across IG.
