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.\nThe bar is high - bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.\nJoin us at IG - the future gets built here.\nYour Team:\nThis role sits within the new Product Operations team, reporting to the Product Operations Lead, and works closely with stakeholders across IG, including Compliance, Risk and Legal. You’ll be the connective tissue between these functions and IG’s product squads, ensuring the relevant stakeholders are engaged from ideation throughout the product lifecycle. You will help translate the requirements and advice provided by these specialist functions into clear, practical actions for product managers and support their implementation, helping ensure products are compliant, robust and appropriately controlled from launch and throughout their lifecycle.\nYour role in the Team’s Success:\nThis is a role for someone who lives at the intersection of product and compliance, and enjoys it. As Product Governance Specialist you will be the product organisation's in-house expert on product governance to ensure that all products are subject to effective lifecycle governance, including appropriate review, approval, launch, ongoing monitoring, periodic review and maintenance in accordance with IG’s product governance framework and the Consumer Duty rules.\nWhat you’ll do:\nProduct governance and lifecycle oversight\nOwn and continuously improve IG's new product approval process, ensuring all new products and material changes engages the appropriate stakeholders, and is assessed, documented, and signed off before launch. \nEnsure clear ownership and effective governance throughout the product lifecycle, including ongoing monitoring and annual reviews to confirm that products remain appropriate, operate as intended and deliver good customer outcomes. \nEstablish appropriate product MI covering performance, customer service, complaints, incidents, target-market alignment and fair value. \nWork with product owners and relevant stakeholders to identify, escalate, track and resolve product risks, control weaknesses and adverse customer outcomes. \nMaintain the Product Governance Policy and supporting processes, controls and governance reporting, incorporating requirements and advice from relevant specialist functions. \nRun and document the annual product review process, working with product owners and relevant stakeholders across IG to confirm that products continue to operate as intended, remain appropriate for their target market, deliver fair value and meet applicable manufacturer and distributor obligations under the Consumer Duty rules. \nProduct disclosures, risk warnings and customer communications\nSupport the Product Managers and Designers in ensuring that product disclosures, risk warnings and other regulatory disclosures across products, reflect the requirements advised by Compliance, are applied consistently and remain clear and appropriately prominent across products and customer journeys. \nAnd that new products, features and changes are reviewed before launch to identify and implement any required risk warnings, disclosures or customer communications. \nCross-functional collaboration\nAct as the trusted link between Product and other functions across IG, including Compliance, Legal & Risk, resolving governance questions quickly rather than letting them become blockers. \nTrain and support product managers on governance requirements, building governance literacy across the wider team. \nSupport the Product Operations Lead, Product Domain Leads and CPO in preparing materials for senior governance committees. \nWhat You'll Need:\nPractical experience designing, operating or overseeing product governance frameworks and new product approval processes within a UK FCA-regulated financial services firm. \nStrong working knowledge of Consumer Duty, PROD and UK MiFID II requirements, including their application to product design, approval, monitoring, review and customer communications. \nExperience running or contributing to new product approval and annual product review processes. \nComfortable producing MI and materials for senior committees and, where relevant, board-level reporting. \nAbility to translate regulatory requirements into practical guidance that product teams can actually use. \nExcellent written communication, with the judgement to know when something needs escalating versus when it can be resolved directly. \nDesirable\nExperience with investment, leveraged trading, or crypto products specifically. \nBackground in either a product role that moved into governance, or a compliance role that developed strong product fluency. \nFamiliarity with vulnerable customer frameworks and fair value assessment methodologies. \nThe Perks\nIt 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 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.\nCompetitive salary\nFlexible Benefits Package on top of your salary (12%)\nPrivate medical cover for you and your family\nLife insurance\nContribution to gym memberships\n25 Days holiday, with 1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday & 2 additional days off a year for voluntary work (28 in total)\nThe option to buy or sell holiday days\nA comprehensive global and local onboarding process\nEnhanced primary (maternity), secondary (paternity), and shared parental pay and leave, as well as a range of support and benefits for parents\nNumber of openings\n1","description_format":"text","description_chars":6382,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Gym membership","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Brokerage & Trading Platforms","Forex & CFD Brokers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T18:50:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":78,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.826,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:11","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-product-governance-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-product-governance-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T15:10:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4076,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":38407},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38407"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fig-product-governance-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fig-product-governance-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fig-product-governance-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ig-product-governance-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fig-product-governance-specialist"}]}
