We need a high‑calibre Business Manager to work directly alongside the Chief of Staff / COO.
This high‑impact, highly visible role sits at the centre of IG Prime’s growth agenda, spanning strategic initiatives, operational alignment, and senior leadership support.
It offers a rare opportunity to operate at the most senior levels of the business, drive cross‑functional workstreams, and develop an unrivalled understanding of how a capital markets business is built and run.
Responsibilities
- Lead and project‑manage high‑priority strategic initiatives, including new product launches, growth programmes and business transformation workstreams.
- Conduct rigorous analysis to support decision‑making, including market sizing, competitive benchmarking and business case development.
- Translate strategic objectives into actionable plans with clear milestones, owners and accountability frameworks.
- Partner with the sales leadership team to design and drive sales acceleration programmes, including go‑to‑market strategy, pipeline analytics and client coverage optimisation.
- Develop and maintain performance frameworks and dashboards to track commercial KPIs and identify opportunities.
- Act as the key interface between product, technology and the business, ensuring roadmap priorities are aligned to commercial objectives and dependencies are actively managed.
- Facilitate cross‑functional forums, resolve escalations and drive operational rigour across teams.
- Identify structural or process inefficiencies and lead initiatives to improve organisational effectiveness.
- Prepare high‑quality materials for Ex Co, Board and CEO‑level audiences, including strategic updates, business reviews and investor briefings.
- Coordinate and drive the annual and quarterly planning cycle, ensuring leadership has the information and analysis needed to make timely decisions.
- Support the COO / Chief of Staff in managing the IG Prime leadership agenda, including preparation for key forums and off‑sites.
Qualifications
- 3–6 years of experience, ideally with a strong foundation in strategy consulting (Manager or equivalent level at a top‑tier firm).
- Meaningful exposure to capital markets, financial services or a closely adjacent sector – either through consulting engagements or direct industry experience.
- Proven track record of owning complex, multi‑stakeholder workstreams end‑to‑end in a fast‑paced environment.
Skills & Competencies
- Exceptional analytical and problem‑structuring capabilities; comfortable building business cases, financial models and executive presentations from scratch.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication, with the ability to distil complex information into clear, compelling narratives for senior audiences.
- Strong interpersonal skills and the gravitas to operate credibly with senior stakeholders across the organisation.
- Self‑starter with high initiative; able to prioritise effectively and move quickly without extensive direction.
- Collaborative team player with a genuine interest in building something – not just advising on it.
- How We Work
We operate like a start‑up but deliver like a FTSE 100.
The role requires working through ambiguity without a playbook, solving problems at speed, and questioning the status quo.
The hybrid model means three days in the office.
We believe diversity is vital to success, fueling creativity and innovation. We encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and flexible benefits package (12%).
- Private medical cover, life insurance, gym membership contribution.
