About Ig

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.3m 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.

This role is designed as a launchpad: master the vendor lifecycle end to end here, and the natural next step is a Vendor Management Specialist or TPRM Analyst role, with the Senior Vendor Management Specialist track beyond that.

With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we'll support you all the way.

We think like a start-up, but we deliver like a FTSE 100 — so the bar is high, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Join us for this exciting journey.
