Head of Emerging Markets

About the role

We're looking for a commercial leader to own the Emerging Markets business across Asia - the P&L, the growth, and the strategy that turns IG into a real contender in markets where the competition is well established and the operating playbook is its own discipline. This is a senior, full-ownership role: you'll defend the existing base, build the next layer of growth, and own the relationships and decisions that determine whether we win in each market. Winning in EM is as much an internal job as an external one. The opportunity is there - what determines the outcome is whether the product, the payment rails, the onboarding flow, the commercial terms and the operational machinery are tuned for the realities of the region, alongside the market-facing work to acquire and retain clients. You'll own both sides of that equation. Why This Role Exists EM has historically been an under-invested part of the business. That is changing. There is a concerted effort across the group to lean into this opportunity - with the appetite, the resources and the senior attention to back it - and we are putting in place the leadership and the structure to deliver against it. This role is at the centre of that shift. This is a P&L role with a defined growth mandate, a budget to deploy, and a portfolio of markets that each need their own commercial motion. It is not a strategy seat. It is the seat that owns delivery against the strategy - and the seat that makes sure the rest of the organisation delivers what EM needs to win.
