Senior Videos Editor Job Description So, who are we?

What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that's rare in established businesses. The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next. Join us at IG – the future gets built here.

About Ig

• IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.4m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof.
• We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated.
• It really is more than a job.
• We think like a start-up, but we deliver like a FTSE 100 — so the bar is high, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Responsibilities

• This role sits within the Content team, reporting into the Senior Video Producer.
• The team produces sharp, engaging content across live shows, podcasts, and social platforms, with a focus on storytelling, speed, and digital-first distribution.

• Edit full episodes of IG's preproduced and live content for YouTube, and cut podcast recordings for distribution across all major platforms.
• Shape content strategy and format development for shows and podcasts, working with producers on what stories to tell and how, not just how they're cut

• Craft compelling narratives in both long-form and short-form formats, with a strong instinct for pacing, tone, and structure.

• Collaborate with producers, presenters, and the social team to refine the editorial process and optimise output across all channels.
• Act as the video/creative point of contact in cross-functional planning with producers, presenters, and social, shaping how concepts translate into content rather than receiving a finished brief.

Requirements

• Senior experience editing both long-form and short-form video content, with a strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, pacing, and production quality.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and the broader Creative Suite, including After Effects.
