**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

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.
