Job Description
Corporate Actions Team Lead
So, who are we
IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.3m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof. We didnt pivot to innovation; its how weve 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 thats rare in established businesses. The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and well give you the platform to define what comes next. Join us at IG – the future gets built here.
Your team
This role sits within our Corporate Actions team, part of IGs global Operations function. The team processes all corporate action events across physical, CFD, and spread betting accounts, manages equity transfer operations, and drives automation across our global corporate actions capability. We operate from Bangalore, working closely with custodians, brokers, and internal stakeholders in Australia, Singapore, Japan and UK to deliver accurate, timely outcomes for our clients
Your role in the Teams Success
Were looking for a leader who will improve how this team operates — not simply maintain it. You will be the teams process expert on corporate actions — someone who has personally processed every event type and understands the workflows end-to-end. This is a hands-on leadership role: youll be in the detail daily, processing alongside your team, while driving automation and leveraging AI to simplify day-to-day operations. Were looking for someone who embraces change, questions how things are done, raises quality standards, and gives honest and constructive feedback — bringing their team along with confidence and clarity.
What Youll Do
Hands-On Corporate Actions Processing
- Process corporate actions daily as a core part of your role. Your hands-on expertise is what gives you credibility as a leader and allows you to guide your team through complex cases from real experience.
- Take ownership of the most complex and high-priority events across physical accounts, CFDs, and spread betting derivatives. Develop deep working knowledge across mandatory events, voluntary events, mergers, rights issues, scrip dividends, tenders, and delistings.
- Continuously evaluate existing processes with a critical eye — we expect you to question established ways of working and propose better alternatives where you see the opportunity.
- Lead automation initiatives that deliver tangible results: build and maintain Tableau dashboards, VBA solutions, and automated reporting that improve efficiency and give stakeholders clear visibility.
- Own the documentation and training for process changes you introduce, ensuring they are adopted effectively across the team.
- Explore and apply AI tools and techniques to streamline day-to-day processing — whether thats automating repetitive tasks, improving data extraction and reconciliation, or using AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual effort and error rates. We expect you to stay curious about whats possible and bring practical AI solutions into the teams daily operations.
- Lead a team of 6–7 corporate actions processors, setting clear expectations and consistently holding the team to high standards.
- Provide regular, honest feedback to your team — including constructive and difficult feedback where performance or conduct requires it. We need a leader who addresses issues early and directly.
- Drive performance management with rigour: monitor workload distribution, track output quality, and take timely action when standards are not being met.
- Invest in developing your team through structured coaching, mentoring, and by creating opportunities for growth. Run focused team meetings and meaningful one-on-ones.
- Coordinate effectively with UK and Australian stakeholders, representing the Bangalore team with confidence and accountability.
What youll need for this role
- Leadership experience: Overall 5+ years of experience with minimum 2 years in a team lead or supervisory role. Degree in Finance or MBA from top-tier college.
- Strong corporate actions expertise: Demonstrable, hands-on experience across all event types — mandatory, voluntary, and complex. Your understanding should come from direct processing experience, not just procedural knowledge.
- Automation capability: A track record of building and deploying automation solutions (VBA, macros, Tableau dashboards) in corporate actions or financial operations that delivered measurable improvements.
- AI fluency: Familiarity with using AI tools to simplify operational workflows — whether for data processing, reporting, reconciliation, or communication. You dont need to be a data scientist, but you should be comfortable experimenting with AI to make everyday work faster and more accurate.
- Willingness to have tough conversations: You are comfortable giving direct, constructive feedback and promptly and fairly addressing performance issues. You see this as part of the role, not an occasional necessity.
- A mindset for improvement: You naturally question the status quo, look for what can work better, and take initiative to make changes rather than waiting for direction.
- Embraces change: You are energised by evolving ways of working — whether its new tools, shifting priorities, or process redesigns. You dont wait for change to be fully defined before getting on board; you lean in early, help shape it, and bring your team along with confidence and clarity.
- Strong communication and organisation: You are detail-oriented, structured in your approach, and communicate clearly and directly. You manage competing priorities calmly and effectively.
- Shift Requirement: This role requires the successful candidate to work in one of the following shift patterns to support our global operations — US Shift: 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM IST or APAC Shift: 2:00 AM to 12:30 PM IST. This is a firm requirement for the role. We ask that candidates apply only if they are comfortable committing to these working hours on an ongoing basis.

About Company
We’ve been at the forefront of trading innovation since 1974, taking on the challenge to deliver an unmatched experience for our clients and raise the bar for tomorrow’s opportunities. Today, we’re a global fintech company incorporating the IG, tastytrade, IG Prime, Spectrum and DailyFX brands, with a presence in 20 countries across five continents – Europe, North America, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
We’re an organisation of positive problem-solvers, united and inspired by our purpose, which is to power the pursuit of financial freedom for the ambitious. Our award-winning products and platforms empower go-getters the world over to unlock opportunities around the clock, giving them access to over 19,000 financial markets.
Today, more than 400,000 clients call IG Group home. IG Group Holdings plc is an established member of the FTSE 250 and holds a long-term investment grade credit rating of BBB- with a stable outlook from Fitch Ratings.
As the UK’s original over-the-counter (OTC) leveraged derivatives provider, we introduced a completely new, accessible way for people to trade on gold in 1974 – by defining it as an index.
Since then, we’ve challenged ourselves to build the world’s best technology platforms, products and exchanges. Our innovations have included the first online dealing platform for financial spread betting in 1998 and the first trading app for Apple Watch in 2015. Our award-winning app1 offers an intuitive, customisable interface with lightning-fast functionality and sophisticated tools for advanced traders, while still being easy to navigate for those with less experience.
We take a responsible approach to targeting and onboarding new clients. Recognising that our products won’t be right for everyone, we use sophisticated methods to check suitability during the application process.
We’re in it together with our clients, there with them at every step in their pursuit of financial freedom. That’s why we have a wealth of educational material available through our websites and IG Academy. From essential trading and risk-management techniques to providing market insights and alerts about upcoming economic events, we draw on nearly five decades’ experience to help people trade and invest more effectively.
In our 47 years, we’ve seen it all and tackled every challenge head-on. Numerous economic ups-and-downs, an uncertain regulatory landscape and other global events have tested our agility as a business – most recently the Covid-19 pandemic. Through this period of exceptional market volatility, our people have shown incredible resilience, demonstrating just how strong our operating model and risk management strategies are. We’ve handled unprecedented levels of client trading activity and account applications, all while our people adjust to a never-before-seen working environment. Our long-term investment in communications and technology proved to be one of the smartest decisions we ever made, enabling our people to work safely and effectively from home.
In FY21 we acquired tastytrade, an online brokerage and one-of-a-kind investor education platform with a growing share of the US derivatives market, primarily through options and futures. Much like us, tastytrade goes where no financial firm has gone before, making our two businesses the perfect pair. tastytrade shares our entrepreneurial ethos and always-innovating culture, and will be a valuable partner for IG Group.
