Job Title
Financial Risk Manager
Job Description
We are seeking a Financial Risk Manager to join a data-driven technical risk management team in designing, developing and deploying quantitative risk models to manage our risk.
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. We work in cross-functional teams, focused on delivering at pace to improve the experience of traders on our platforms.
The Team
The Financial Risk Team is responsible for the end-to-end management of IG Group’s credit and market risk profile and works to measure, monitor and, where appropriate, mitigate these risks.
Alongside this, we are materially involved in our liquidity risk profile and have full ownership of the Group’s regulatory capital model for all entities.
The Team reports directly to the Chief Risk Officer, has frequent exposure to the Risk Committee, Executive Risk Committee and Board Risk Committee and works closely with the 1st line Sales & Trading, Model Validation, Treasury, Credit Operations and Enterprise Data teams.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Financial Risk Manager to join a small (6-person) team mostly based in London.
The role is for a senior position supporting the Head of Financial Risk and will involve optimising, refining, and where necessary, rebuilding existing models, as well as proposing entirely new models and approaches. We are looking for someone who can challenge the existing status quo and help identify and mitigate unsighted risks.
The role will also involve an element of Developer Operations in managing our pipeline through GitLab and eventually helping transition this to GCP to adopt AI technologies.
One of the first projects for the successful candidate will be to fully integrate a Value-at-Risk model into IG’s suite of models and to recommend actions off the back of it.
What You’ll Do
We also think hard about our ways of working as a company. At IG Group, we’ve set out five target behaviours that we expect everyone to strive to achieve in all that 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; and
Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better across IG.
What You’ll Need
It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.
We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection.
Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy. Ask our employees what their favourite 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.
So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
