We work in cross-functional teams, focused on delivering at pace to improve the experience of traders on our platforms. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!

Your role in the Team

As a Global HR Specialist, you will be part of the team responsible for the delivery of daily HR operations and cyclical HR projects for all IG Employees and Managers across the globe.

What You’ll Do

Your core responsibilities will be:

• Dealing with HR queries/requests through HR ticketing system and email, in a professional manner and within agreed timeframes
• Providing accurate and timely advice on HR processes and policies
• Assisting Senior Specialists with desigining new employee lifecycle proceses
• Reviewing and improving existing employee lifecycle proceses
• Managing HR data entry and processing HR transactions from employee life cycle scope in our HR data system (Workday)

Who we’re looking for?

Role

While there are many profiles of people who work at IG – across all roles, we’re looking for a few common traits:

• You are passionate about HR and would like to improve in that area
• You care about your stakeholders
• You are impatient about driving change and willing to deliver at pace
• You are not afraid of working independently and at the same time are able to co-operate with others
  
  

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, join us in raising the bar for our customers and across the trading industry.

Essential

What you’ll need for this role

• Experience in HR Processes and understanding of employee life cycle

• Knowledge of APAC HR processes and labour law
  
  

How You’ll Grow

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way.

And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

The perks

It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.

• Hybrid working
• Home office equipment reimbursement
• Annual financial bonus
• Private medical cover for you and your family/partner (Medicover)
• Multikafeteria system (you can choose a multisport card, vouchers, etc.)
• Life insurance (Generali)
• Employee-led LGBTQ+, Women’s, Black, and Parents & Carers networks with an annual budget for organizing events & projects that foster an open, diverse, and inclusive culture
• Career-focused technical and leadership training in-class and online, incl. unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning platform
• Well-being events as well as Employee Assistance Programme
• Summer picnic, New Year party and other social events
• 3 additional days off a year - 1 to celebrate your Birthday and 2 for voluntary work 😊
  
  

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.

About

We also think hard about our ways of working as a company. At IG Group, we’ve set out five target behaviors 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
• Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better all across IG
