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; 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.Your Team:This role sits within the new Product Operations team, reporting into the Product Operations Lead, and is deployed onto specific high-priority initiatives as and when they arise, working alongside the Product Managers and Engineering Leads of every squad involved. As Delivery Lead you will own the end-to-end delivery of these initiatives, orchestrating multiple Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and squads toward a single outcome. Cross-squad and cross-domain orchestration Own the end-to-end delivery plan for major initiatives that span multiple squads and/or multiple product domains, sequencing work across teams that don't normally plan together. Support teams to carve deliverables/plans into manageable slices, making sure value can be found in each slice. Bring together the right Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other stakeholders at the right moments, without taking over their squads' day-to-day delivery. Help to foster a psychologically safe working environment where people can raise problems, solve issues and find solutions. Programme-level risk and issue management Maintain a single, honest view of risk, issues, and critical-path dependencies across the whole initiative, escalating early and clearly to the Product Operations Lead and senior stakeholders. Own contingency and mitigation planning for the risks that could derail a multi-team initiative — not just track them on a log. Keep Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and other functions (Compliance, Legal, Data) aligned to a shared plan and timeline, even when their day-to-day priorities pull in different directions. Technical and delivery credibility Bring a high level of technical fluency to understand system dependencies, integration points, and engineering trade-offs across multiple domains. Apply sound programme and project management discipline (planning, milestone tracking, RAID management) appropriate to initiatives that are often unprecedented and don't fit a standard template. Contribution to Product Operations Feed lessons learned and delivery best practice back into the Product Operations Lead, helping the wider team get better at running complex, cross-cutting initiatives. Support the Product Operations Lead with ad hoc portfolio-level analysis or reporting when capacity allows between initiatives. What You'll Need:Significant experience as a Programme Manager, Senior Delivery Manager, or Technical Project Manager, with a track record of delivering initiatives that span multiple teams or workstreams. Strong stakeholder management skills, including the credibility and gravitas to align Product Managers and Engineering Leads who don't report into you. Desirable Experience in a regulated financial services or fintech environment. Programme or project management qualifications (e.g. MSP, PMP, Prince2) — useful context, though real-world judgement on ambiguous, high-stakes initiatives matters more. Deep experience of agile ways of working, to work effectively with Product Managers and Engineering Leads running their own ceremonies and backlogs. We work hybrid, which means three days in the office. We’ll recognise 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.
