Technical SEO Specialist

Join our team as a Technical SEO Specialist and play a key role in ensuring the technical health and SEO performance of IG.com. You will contribute to SEO best practices, support website migrations, and manage international SEO elements. This is a great opportunity for someone with a solid foundation in technical SEO to grow and make a tangible impact on our global website. If you have a strong foundation in technical SEO and are ready to take on new challenges, we’d love to have you on our team!

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

The Technical SEO team ensures that IG.com performs at its best across search engines, with a focus on optimizing our site’s technical infrastructure and ensuring top visibility across global markets. As part of this team, you will work on maintaining and improving the technical SEO health of the website, supporting critical SEO tasks such as URLs and redirects setups in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), and managing international SEO implementations like hreflang tags. This role is crucial for ensuring our site’s long-term success and supports key projects like site migrations and continuous SEO optimization.

What you’ll do

• Conduct Technical SEO Audits: Perform regular technical SEO audits to identify and resolve issues related to crawling, indexing, CWVs and site speed.
• Manage URLs & Redirects in AEM: Support and implement SEO elements within Adobe Experience Manager, such as URLs creation and setting up redirects to ensure a clean and optimized site structure.
• Optimize International SEO: Monitor and implement improvements to hreflang tags to ensure our global website is correctly indexed and targeted for international audiences.
• Support Website Migrations: Assist in maintaining SEO best practices during website migrations, updating internal linking, handling redirects, and ensuring no loss of SEO value.
• Monitoring & Reporting: Track and report on key technical SEO metrics (site speed, crawl errors, indexing issues) using tools like Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and Lumar, providing actionable insights.
• Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams: Work closely with developers, content teams, and product managers to ensure SEO recommendations are implemented and contribute to the overall website’s performance.

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

• Solid understanding of technical SEO concepts such as crawlability, indexability, CWVs, page speed optimization and sitemaps.
• Hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or other CMS platforms.
• Ability to work with international SEO, including hreflang implementation and optimizing sites for global search engines.
• Experience with structured data (e.g., schema markup) and its implementation to improve search visibility and rich snippets.
• Experience with SEO tools such as Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog or Lumar for monitoring and troubleshooting technical SEO issues.
• Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and how these technologies impact SEO, with an ability to collaborate effectively with developers.
• Good communication skills, able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical team members, and collaborate across teams.
• Good command of English to collaborate effectively with international teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
• Nice to have: Experience supporting or working on website migrations while adhering to SEO best practices.
• Nice to have: Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data insights into actionable recommendations.

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.

• Competitive salary 
• Private medical cover for you and your family (Medicover) 
• Multikafeteria system (you can choose multisport card, vouchers etc.) 
• Life insurance (Generali) 
• Comprehensive global and local onboarding process – to the company and to your role

• Online social events 
• Annual parties - summer picnic and Christmas Party and other social events
• Flexible working hours – depending on the role 
• Flexible work arrangements – we work in hybrid working framework
• Home office equipment reimbursement
• 2 additional days off a year for voluntary work
• 1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday 😊

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 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.

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