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:\n Own the editorial engine that grows IG's organic visibility in the UK. This role produces authoritative, search-optimised content across trading, investing and markets, turning complex financial topics into content that ranks, builds trust, and converts readers into clients. It sits at the intersection of editorial quality, SEO discipline, and financial-promotions compliance.\nWhat you’ll do:\nPlan and produce a high-quality pipeline of articles across CFDs and leveraged trading, share dealing and investing, crypto, and tax-efficient products such as ISAs, mapped to commercial priorities.\nOwn the UK editorial calendar end to end, covering topic and keyword research, briefing, writing, editing, and publishing.\nTranslate SEO strategy into content, including search intent, keyword targeting, internal linking, and on-page optimisation, using tools such as Ahrefs.\nRaise the bar on editorial standards, delivering accuracy, clarity, and a distinctive house voice that differentiates IG in a crowded market.\nPartner with Compliance so that all content meets FCA financial-promotions requirements without losing editorial quality or speed.\nCommission and edit freelance and contributor content where needed, maintaining consistency and standards at scale.\nTrack organic performance across rankings, traffic, engagement, and assisted conversions, and iterate content based on what drives results.\nWhat You'll Need:\nStrong editorial background with demonstrable experience writing and editing about financial markets, trading, or investing for a general audience.\nProven ability to write for SEO, with a clear understanding of search intent and the judgement to balance ranking mechanics with genuinely useful content.\nHands-on fluency with SEO tooling such as Ahrefs, and comfort working from performance data.\nExcellent command of written English, with sharp attention to accuracy and detail.\nSelf-directed and fast, able to manage a busy publishing schedule independently and hit a consistent cadence.\nDesirable requirements\nWorking knowledge of FCA financial-promotions rules, or experience producing content in another regulated environment.\nFamiliarity with retail trading and investing products, and the audiences that use them.\nExperience commissioning or managing freelance writers and contributors.\nComfort with CMS and analytics platforms, and basic on-page technical SEO.\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.
