Job Title
Video Editor (Trading and Investing Content)

Job Description

We are a fast-growing financial brand producing sharp, entertaining content across live shows, podcasts and social platforms. With a focus on storytelling, speed and digital-first distribution, we’re redefining how financial insights are delivered to the next generation of investors and traders.

Your role in the Team’s Success

We’re looking for a talented Video Editor to take the lead on editing our flagship live shows and podcasts – from full-length episodes for YouTube, web and podcast platforms, to short-form cutdowns optimised for social. You’ll shape engaging narratives, ensure high production quality, and help us drive reach and engagement across channels. This is a fast-paced, creative role for someone who’s just as comfortable editing a polished long-form episode as they are crafting a viral 60-second clip from scratch.

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.

What you’ll do

• Edit full episodes of our live trading and investing show for YouTube and web
• Edit podcast recordings for distribution across all major podcast platforms
• Cut down shows and podcasts into short, social-first videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, X and LinkedIn
• Work in real-time during our morning live show (7:30am start) to create and distribute cutdowns while the show is live
• Record purpose-made social content with on-air presenters after the show, edit the video and prepare it for the social team to distribute
• Create purpose-made motion graphics video content for YouTube based on a brief
• Input to improve production process to support producing the best video content
• Collaborate with producers and presenters to continuously improve the editorial process and storytelling approach
• Craft compelling narratives that keep viewers engaged – in both long-form and short-form
• Apply colour grading, audio mixing and sound design to a high production standard
• Ensure all content adheres to best practices for each platform and format
• Stay on top of social trends and bring fresh, creative ideas to the table
• Collaborate closely with producers, presenters and the social team to optimise output

What you’ll need for this role

• Experience in, or demonstrable interest in financial services specifically trading, finance or business content
• Proven experience editing both long-form and short-form video content
• Strong storytelling skills with an eye for pacing, tone and structure
• Skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro and other Creative Suite tools (After Effects, Audition, etc.)
• Confident with colour grading, audio editing and motion graphics
• Good understanding of social media platforms and content formats
• Ability to thrive under pressure and turn around edits at speed
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and creatively driven

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Love creating engaging content that people want to watch and share
• Are obsessed with getting things done fast and done well
• Have a strong instinct for what works on social and how to hook an audience
• Want to be part of a growing media team shaking up the world of finance
