So, who are we?
Hello, we're IG Group. We are a publicly-traded FTSE250 FinTech company who run mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade stocks & shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.
We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We're global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions. We're hungry to move faster, ship better product for our customers and grow our user base. We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently in order to create better experiences for our customers.
We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.
Your team
This role sits within our Security Operations Centre (SOC), a 24/7 function responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to cybersecurity threats across IG Group's global platforms. The team protects our clients, systems, and data through a combination of human expertise,



AI-assisted triage, and continuously evolving security automation.

Your role in the Team's Success
As a Lead Cyber Defence Analyst (L3), you are accountable for shift operations and serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex and high-severity security incidents. You will drive meaningful improvements to the SOC's detection and response capabilities — designing SIEM rules, building SOAR automation, and leading post-incident reviews that translate lessons learnt into tangible enhancements.
Beyond the technical, you will play a central role in developing the analysts around you, mentoring L1s and L2s and helping to build a high-performing, continuously improving team. Your leadership during incidents, your visibility across shift workload, and your contribution to strategic SOC development will directly shape IG Group's ability to detect and respond to emerging threats at scale.
