Event Manager, 6 Month FTC
Who are we?
Hello, we’re IG Group. We are a publicly-traded FTSE250 FinTech company who run mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade stocks & shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.
We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We’re global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions. We’re hungry to move faster, ship better product for our customers and grow our user base. We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently in order to create better experiences for our customers.
We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.
What’s the role?
We're on the hunt for a dynamic and ambitious Event Manager to join our brand team on an interim basis. This isn't just about organising events; it's about crafting unforgettable experiences for our premium clients and scoping out new opportunities for the IG brand. If you're a highly organised event manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.
What will you do?
You'll own our event experiences from start to finish. This means diving deep with our premium client and marketing teams to shape event strategy, crafting flawless plans (timelines, budgets, vendors), and executing every detail, from logistics to ticket management – especially for those high-demand sports and entertainment moments.
- Collaborate with premium client management and brand marketing teams to understand event objectives, target audiences, and key messaging. Develop comprehensive event plans, including timelines, budgets, vendor selection, and logistical arrangements.
- Oversee all aspects of ticket distribution for our premium clients, especially for sports and entertainment events, including allocation, tracking, compliance reporting, and ensuring a smooth experience for attendees.
- Partner with brand marketing teams to ensure consistent brand messaging, visual identity, and overall brand experience across all events as we begin the roll out of our new visual identity. Research new event opportunities and manage existing event portfolios in alignment with brand strategy.
- At IG, change is constant. We need your event expertise to identify and implement new, more efficient ways of working, making a direct impact on our operations. This is a core objective for you.
