Your Team:
This role sits within the PR & Public Affairs team, part of IG’s Marketing & Growth function, and reports directly to the Head of PR & Public Affairs. The team is responsible for building IG’s reputation across UK, Europe and Middle East – running the press office, delivering integrated PR campaigns, and growing IG’s public affairs presence across the region. You will work closely with the Product & Marketing teams to align communications activity with commercial priorities, and collaborate with Market Analysts and Client Managers to generate compelling data-led stories for media.
Your role in the Team’s Success:
IG is looking for a PR Manager to help shape and deliver bold, high-impact communications across Europe at a pivotal moment in the business’s history. You will drive proactive campaigns, drive the PR programme, and manage agency relationships across our European markets – playing a visible role in how IG is perceived by clients and media, across the region.
What you’ll do:
- Drive proactive PR campaigns across Europe, from idea generation and briefing through to delivery, measurement, and iteration – ensuring campaigns are tied to commercial objectives and land with the right audiences in each market.
- Manage agency relationships across PR in Europe, setting clear briefs, holding agencies accountable to quality and results, and making smart decisions about how external resource is deployed.
- Partner with the Product & Marketing team to ensure communications activity is aligned to campaigns, product launches, and broader brand moments across Europe – acting as an integrated communications partner rather than a siloed function.
- Work with Market Analysts and internal subject matter experts to surface data, insight, and commentary that can be shaped into strong media stories and thought leadership for European audiences.
- Draft, edit, and review a range of content to a high standard – including press releases, messaging frameworks, Q&A, campaign briefs, and media pitches.
- Prepare spokespeople for media engagements, developing briefing documents and messaging that are clear, accurate, and appropriately tailored to European audiences.
- Track and report on communications performance across Europe, providing regular insight to the Head of PR & Public Affairs on campaign results, coverage quality, and opportunities to improve.
What You’ll Need:
- At least three years’ experience in PR, communications, or journalism – ideally from a fast-paced PR agency, in-house communications team, or national media environment.
- A track record of delivering proactive campaigns end-to-end, with the creativity to generate strong ideas and the rigour to execute them well.
- Experience managing external agencies or suppliers, with the confidence to brief, challenge, and hold partners to account.
- Strong writing and editing skills across a range of formats – from press releases and pitches to briefing documents and campaign plans.
- Comfort working across European markets, with the cultural awareness to adapt communications for different audiences and regulatory contexts.
- A genuine interest in financial markets, investing, and macroeconomics – you do not need to be an expert, but you need to enjoy learning and communicating in this space.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships with internal teams, spokespeople, journalists, and political contacts.
- Fluency in German, French, Spanish, or Italian
- Desirable Experience working with financial services, fintech, or other regulated consumer brands.
- Familiarity with public affairs – either in-house, through an agency, or via a media or policy background.
- Experience of integrating AI in Workflows or an interest in learning how to do so.
- Existing relationships and networks across Europe, including relevant media and/or political contacts in IG’s key European markets.
- Experience using data and analytics to evaluate communications impact beyond coverage volume.
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 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.
