Job Title

IG Prime: Institutional Sales Executive

Overview

IG is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.3 million customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions. IG Prime is the institutional division serving hedge funds, family offices, retail brokers, white‑label platforms and introducing brokers across the UK, Europe, APAC and LATAM. The London team is the engine behind our global client relationships and revenue growth.

Your Role in the Team's Success

As a junior member of the London sales team, you will support senior salespeople across business development, client management and day‑to‑day commercial activity, building the knowledge, relationships and skills needed to progress into an independent sales role.

What You'll Do

• Build a thorough understanding of IG Prime’s full product suite, including CFDs, spread betting, DMA execution, financing and white‑label solutions.
• Support senior team members in identifying, approaching and developing new client prospects across our core verticals – brokers, hedge funds, family offices and banks.
• Assist in the preparation and delivery of client pitches, proposals and commercial term sheets.
• Help manage existing client relationships, ensuring a consistently high standard of service and responsiveness.
• Represent IG Prime at industry events, conferences and networking opportunities across the UK and Europe.
• Work closely with internal teams – operations, risk, compliance and technology – to support smooth client onboarding and ongoing servicing.
• Contribute to pipeline reporting, CRM management and the production of sales materials and market intelligence.
• Support the ongoing development of sales processes and best practices within the team.

What You'll Need for This Role

• 1–2 years of experience in an institutional financial services role – prime brokerage, capital markets, sales support or a related function preferred.
• A genuine interest in financial markets and a clear ambition to build a career in institutional sales.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the confidence to engage professionally with clients and internal stakeholders.
• An ability to grasp and articulate complex financial products and solutions clearly.
• A proactive, self‑starter attitude – comfortable taking initiative and working in a fast‑paced, commercially driven environment.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
• Familiarity with CFDs, futures or prime brokerage products is advantageous but not essential.
• An existing network within the UK or European institutional financial community is a plus.

How We Work

We follow a hybrid working model with three days in the office. Our approach to high performance focuses on leading and inspiring, thinking big, championing the client, delivering at pace and raising the bar.
