An exciting and empowering role that drives the creative process end to end at IG Singapore. Conceptualise and produce creatives that bring IG's marketing campaigns to life across social media, digital channels, events and OOH. 

So, who are we?

Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves. We’re a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

Did we mention we have offices in 18 countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!

Your role in the team

The Creative Lead oversees and manages the creative output of the Singapore marketing team. This role involves taking full ownership of the creative process, from conceptualization to production, across all local marketing campaigns, always-on social media content, client communications, and event materials. The ideal candidate has hands-on design expertise, experience managing designers, and the ability to coordinate with both internal teams and external agencies to produce creative assets.

The Creative Lead possesses a diverse skill set, including digital design, graphic / illustration design, video production, and layout design, with a strong background similar to that of an agency-level Art Director.

What you’ll do

(1) Creative Strategy & Execution:
Lead the development and execution of creative concepts for integrated marketing campaigns, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines and marketing objectives.

(2) Design & Production:
Create and produce high-quality digital assets, including but not limited to:

• Graphic design for digital channels (social media, email, web)

• Video production and editing

• Illustrations and animations

• Layout design for both online and offline materials (OOH, presentations, event collateral)

(3) Team Collaboration:
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Social, Brand, CRM and Performance marketing. Provide guidance, feedback and execution to ensure the delivery of creative work that fulfils briefs and business objectives.

(4) Agency Collaboration & Vendor Management:
Work with both internal and external creative agencies, freelancers, and production houses, overseeing the entire creative production process from brief to delivery. Ensure all projects are completed on time, on brief and within budget.

(5) Trend Awareness & Innovation:
Stay updated on design trends, new technologies, and social media best practices to keep the brand's creative assets modern, fresh, and competitive in the market.
 

Who we’re looking for

You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

What you’ll need for this role

• 5+ years of experience in a creative or design lead role, preferably in an agency setting or an in-house marketing team.

• Proven experience managing designers, illustrators, and video production projects.

• Strong portfolio showcasing a range of creative work including digital design, video production, and layout design.

• Experience working with both internal marketing teams and external agencies.

Skills:

• Expert in graphic design, video production, motion graphics, and layout design.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro) and other relevant design software.

• Strong project management and organizational skills.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate creative concepts and manage stakeholder expectations.

• Attention to detail and a strong sense of visual aesthetics.

Qualifications:

• A degree or diploma in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Fine Arts, or a related field.

• Knowledge of social media platforms, their creative requirements, and best practices for visual content.

How you’ll grow

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way.

And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

The perks

It really is more than a job. 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.

• Performance-related bonuses

• Insurance and medical plans

• Career-focused technical and leadership training

• Two volunteering days per year

• One day of birthday leave per year

• Contribution to gym memberships and more

• Flexible working hours and work-from–home opportunities

Where you’ll work

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy.

Ask our employees what their favorite thing is about working at IG, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! That’s because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business.

That’s why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realize our vision and strategy.

So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
