Job Title

Affiliates and Influencers Lead - Investing

Job Description

We are creating a new role for our UK marketing team: Affiliate and Influencer Partnerships Lead. The aim is to significantly scale-up our tactical outreach and collaboration efforts with affiliates and influencers in the UK, with a focus on our investing product. The mission is to build and nurture a network of high-impact partnerships that amplify our brand and drive customer acquisition. While the scope is primarily affiliates and influencers, it will also extend to managing 'refer-a-friend' and engaging with other team members and agencies to link influencer marketing and organic social efforts together.

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.

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 (by revenues). As such this is a prominent role in the UK team and the wider company. Partnerships has not been a focus for the UK recently and we need an experienced leader to rebuild and revitalise our efforts - particularly as we seek to grow our investing products very rapidly in 2025.

This is a critical role for the UK marketing leadership 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.

What you’ll do

• Develop and execute a strategic plan for affiliate and influencer partnerships, and refer-a-friend, to support IG's investing products
• Identify, recruit, and manage relationships with key affiliates and influencers to maximise product awareness and customer acquisition
• Work closely with our Compliance teams to push creativity as far as possible within the boundaries of our FCA obligations
• Analyse partnership performance data to inform decision-making and strategy refinement
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless integration of partnership initiatives, particularly engaging organic social team members and agencies to link influencers, affiliates and social together
• Stay ahead of industry trends and regulatory changes in the UK financial sector

Who we’re looking for

You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

What you’ll need for this role

• Experience in a scale-up or ambitious growth environment would be beneficial
• Proven track record of building successful partnerships and driving growth
• Excellent negotiation and relationship management skills
• Data-driven approach with strong analytical capabilities
• Strong understanding of the UK investment landscape and regulatory environment
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment

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 recognise 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.

• Performance-related bonuses
• Contribution to a Retirement Annuity
• Flexible working hours and work-from-home opportunities
• Contribution to medical aid
• Risk benefit insurance
• Funding for training or studies relevant to your role
• Employee-led LGBTQ+, Women's, Black and Parents & Carers networks with annual budget for organizing events and projects that foster an open, diverse and inclusive culture

Where 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 favourite 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 realise our vision and strategy.

So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
