Job Description

Head of Emerging Markets

So, who are we?

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; it's how we've always operated. 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.

Join us at IG - the future gets built here.

Your Team

The Singapore & Emerging Markets leadership team is responsible for driving growth, commercial performance and market expansion across Emerging Markets in Asia. Working cross-functionally with Product, Operations, Marketing, Compliance, Risk and Finance, the team identifies and executes growth opportunities while ensuring the business is positioned competitively within each market.

Your Role in the Team's Success

As Head of Emerging Markets, you will own the commercial performance, strategy execution and P&L across IG's Emerging Markets portfolio. You will lead growth initiatives, drive market expansion, strengthen distribution channels, and ensure the organisation delivers the product, operational and commercial capabilities required to compete effectively across Asia.

This role sits on the regional leadership team and plays a critical part in one of the business's most important growth priorities.

What You'll Do

Own revenue, growth and profitability across the Emerging Markets portfolio, defining and delivering commercial plans to achieve business objectives.

Partner with Product teams to shape market-specific capabilities, including onboarding journeys, funding solutions, localisation and competitive product enhancements.

Collaborate with Operations to establish scalable infrastructure, licensing frameworks, payment solutions and operational processes that support market expansion.

Develop and scale client acquisition strategies through introducing broker (IB) networks, strategic partnerships, digital marketing, events, social channels and influencer programmes.

Lead the commercial execution of new market launches, validating product-market fit and coordinating readiness across business functions before scaling investment.

Build strong stakeholder relationships across regional and global teams, providing competitive insights, influencing strategic decisions and championing the Emerging Markets agenda.

What You'll Need

Significant experience leading commercial growth, distribution and market expansion within CFD trading, FX, digital assets, brokerage, exchange or fintech environments across Asia.

Strong ownership of P&L performance with a proven track record of delivering revenue growth and executing market-entry strategies.

Deep knowledge of introducing broker (IB), affiliate and partner ecosystems, including commercial structures, acquisition models and channel management.

Strong understanding of payments, client funding behaviours and competitive dynamics across Emerging Markets.

Experience working within regulated financial services environments and partnering with Compliance, Legal and regulatory stakeholders.

Exceptional stakeholder management, influencing and leadership skills, with the ability to drive change across large, matrixed organizations.

The Perks

It really is more than a job. We think like a start-up, but we deliver like a FTSE 100 - so the bar is high, and we won't pretend otherwise. We work hybrid, which means three days in the office. 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.
