Compliance Assurance Analyst

Hello, we're IG Group. We are a publicly-traded FTSE250 FinTech company who run mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade stocks & shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.

We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We're global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions. We're hungry to move faster, ship better product for our customers and grow our user base. We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently in order to create better experiences for our customers.

We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.

Compliance Assurance Analyst

We are looking for Compliance Assurance Analyst to join our Global Compliance Assurance Team. Reporting to the Compliance Assurance Manager, you will be working in the Compliance Assurance Team in Krakow and closely collaborating with Compliance Teams across the world.  You will be involved in various areas of Compliance across the business (including, but not limited to:  marketing, client services, sales, product design and appropriateness, client money, client reporting, governance, trading and execution, employee training and competence, outsourcing and third parties).

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.

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 by delivering at pace and championing the client in everything we do.

• Lead & Inspire: Leading teams in a way that drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm
• Think Big: We focus on the problems that most move the needle of commercial outcomes
• Champion the client: We always keep the client's needs front of mind and deliver as much value for them in all that we do
• Deliver at pace: We work to ensure nothing stands in the way of fast delivery of sustainable growth for our business
• Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better all across IG

From the team:

This will be a busy role in a team that introduced a lot of changes to its process over the last couple of years. New perspective from someone with external financial experience can bring a lot of added value to the team and IG’s fast-growing Share Trading business
