What the job involves
- We are now looking for an experienced Technology Delivery Manager for a maternity cover position (9-12 months) to act as the interface for a group of technical teams, ensuring smooth software delivery and optimisation for early value delivery

- Focus on delivering incremental value improvements as well as unexpected/unplanned work such as regulatory items that require coordination outside of established team structures
- Support experienced engineering managers who own major strategic initiatives, particularly through understanding external dynamics and ways of working outside the UK Technology division
- Identify, manage and coordinate dependencies (inbound/outbound) with other Technology Delivery Managers
- Anticipate and resolve potential blockers to delivery using technical expertise
- Translate technical issues into clear options enabling swift decision making
- Manage, optimise and visualise workflow in and out of the UK division
- Support the Head of UK Technology with management of technology teams, including resourcing, planning and work visualisation
- Coordinate with non-delivery technology functions, such as Incident Management, to ensure seamless operations
- Provide strategic oversight of the technology team's capacity and resource allocation across the division
- Provide support and mentor teams on agile practices and data-driven continuous improvement
- Help teams understand and address bottlenecks using empirical methods
- Support teams in continually improving standards, ways of working and organisational structure
- Enable work by ensuring teams have the resources needed to start and track the process
- Excel at stakeholder communication at all levels

- Attend stakeholder meetings and represent the domain in project working groups
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Founded in 1974 by Stuart Wheeler as a UK-based spread betting company for gold, IG Group, abbreviated from Investors Gold Index, was initially set up to allow people to speculate and trade on the price change of gold without owning physical gold. And in the year 2000, it was listed on the London Stock Exchange and its gradual evolution into the world of fintech began.
By 2011, the company had played a part in numerous international buyouts before narrowing its focus down to financial wagers. During the latter half of that decade, IG shut down its binary options trading platform and focused instead on building an investment portfolio with partner BlackRock Investments, all whilst maintaining its Forex and CFD trading processes. Since then, it has become a fast-paced market leader in the investment space.
In recent years, IG Group has developed major platforms for various trading actions and has grown profit and revenue significantly. Alongside this it has acquired a number of companies, including tastytrade and Freetrade, and launched its own crypto product, making it the first UK-listed company to launch crypto trading to retail investors. This further proves how much of a staple IG Group is in the world of financial trading.
