Role
Who you are
- 3–5 years of experience supporting executive-level leaders
- College degree preferred
- HR Administration experience a plus but not required
- Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, Concur, SharePoint, and Workday—and quick to pick up new tools
- Self-directed, with sound judgment and strong decision-making skills
- Professional, personable, and highly discreet
- Flexible and adaptable, including occasional after-hours availability
- *Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they have every single qualification. Our team is dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role, but your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles!
What the job involves
- We're looking for a sharp, highly organized Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to the Head of People & HR and the broader People function at IG North America. You'll be a trusted partner who keeps things running smoothly — anticipating needs, maintaining confidentiality, and managing competing priorities with ease in a fast-paced fintech environment
- Calendar & Scheduling: Own executive calendars end-to-end — coordinating meetings, protecting priorities, and handling senior interview logistics
- Meeting Support: Keep meetings sharp and productive. Prep materials, capture decisions, and track action items so nothing falls through the cracks
- Communications: Serve as a professional first point of contact for the Head of People, thoughtfully managing incoming correspondence — exercising sound judgment to respond, prioritize, or escalate with the right context and appropriate urgency
- Executive Materials: Create polished presentations, reports, and documents that reflect the People brand
- Vendor & Finance Management: Manage HR vendor contracts and invoices, process expense reports, and assist with budget oversight
- Confidentiality: Handle sensitive and market-sensitive information with the utmost discretion and professionalism
- Events & Culture: Organize company events, off-sites, and team activities that reflect our unique fintech culture
- Proactive Support: Anticipate needs and solve problems before they escalate—staying two steps ahead
Our take
With the aim of "making investing fun”, Unicorn-verified tastytrade has amassed a following in the hundreds of thousands, delivering technology and support for "do-it-yourself" investors.
Founded in 2011, the company supplies not only a trading platform but trading education resources as well. It has launched dozens of podcasts and online video channels focusing on investment strategies and trading, as well as learning courses for those looking to get their start in the space.
Acquired by IG Group, a global player in trading, in 2021, tastytrade has since employed this added strength to scale up its business and expand into international markets. This increasing visibility - at a time when markets are especially unpredictable and its platform an invaluable asset - has enabled tastytrade to continue its upward momentum, reporting record demand in 2025. This strong performance highlights the growing importance of its platform in an ever-evolving market.
