So, who are we?

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.

Your team

As HR Operations Team Leader, you'll lead a team of Senior Global HR Specialists. Together, you'll be responsible for delivering daily HR operations and cyclical HR projects across almost 17 countries globally. Your focus will be on great service delivery, continuous improvement, and keeping things simple — without sacrificing quality.

Your role in the Team's Success

We're looking for an experienced HR Operations Team Leader to lead our HR Ops team and play a central role in shaping how we deliver HR services to over 2,000 IG employees globally.

This isn't just a "keep the lights on" role. You'll be driving continuous improvement, building team capability, and ensuring our HR Operations runs at a consistently high standard. You'll own the day-to-day delivery of HR services, manage workload and priorities, and be the go-to person for your team when things get complex.

You'll be joining a team that's actively transforming — investing in automation, process simplification, and building resilient, scalable operations. If you like solving problems, developing people, and raising the bar on service delivery, this is the role for you.

What you'll do

Lead your team

• Manage and develop a team of HR Operations Senior Specialists, with a focus on continuous improvement, career growth, and building genuine capability

• Plan and advocate for your team — manage workload, priorities, and coverage using our HR ticketing system (ServiceNow)

• Set clear expectations and hold the team accountable for delivering high-quality, timely HR services within agreed SLAs

Deliver operational excellence

• Oversee HR data entry and employee lifecycle transactions in Workday, ensuring accuracy and timeliness

• Manage the preparation, signing, and distribution of HR letters and documents

• Maintain accurate employee files in our online archive

• Provide expert advice on HR processes and policies (HR employee queries only)

• Lead and contribute to internal and external audits

Drive improvement

• Identify and implement process improvements that increase efficiency, simplify operations, and improve the employee experience

• Actively contribute to automation initiatives — we've grown automation and we're not stopping there

• Provide recommendations based on HR trends where guidance gaps exist

Live the IG values

• Champion the client, learn fast together, raise the bar — in everything you do

What you'll need for this role

Essential

• 5+ years in HR Operations, with proven experience leading HR teams — ideally in a global, fast-paced organisation

• Strong understanding of employee lifecycle processes end-to-end

• Hands-on experience with Workday or similar HRIS, and an HR Case Management system (ideally ServiceNow)

• Track record of delivering process and user experience improvements with measurable results

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills (C1 minimum)

• Comfortable working with ambiguity, changing priorities, and complex issues — you figure things out and keep moving

• Proactive, self-driven, and genuinely curious about learning new things

Nice to have

• Experience with additional HR systems beyond Workday

• Familiarity with APAC HR processes and labour law

• Experience managing internal and external audits

How we work

We try to take a thoughtful approach to our ways of working as a company. We follow a hybrid working model with 3 days in the office -- which we think balances the need to collaborate effectively and connect with each other. When it comes to how we deliver, there are 5 things we want everyone to do to drive high performance, better learning and career satisfaction:

• Lead and Inspire: Drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm

• Think Big: Focus on the problems that most impact commercial outcomes

• Champion the client: Understand and prioritise client's needs

• Deliver at pace: Push for fast, sustainable growth;

• Raise the bar: Take ownership, be accountable and share feedback

We believe that diversity is vital to success, it fuels creativity, drives innovation and sets us up for global success. We're committed to building teams with a variety of perspectives and skills to help us realise our vision and strategy, that's why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join us on this journey.
