Head of Operations - Singapore and Emerging Markets

About the role

We're looking for someone who can turn intent into outcome - the person who takes "we should do something about that" and comes back with "it's done, here's what's next." The Head of Operations is the operating backbone of IG's Singapore and Emerging Markets business: the person closest to the CEO, who owns the work that doesn't fit neatly into any one team's box, and who makes sure the strategy on the whiteboard actually shows up in the numbers. This is not a process-administration role. It is a builder's role with a strategist's brief - part chief-of-staff, part internal consultant, part hands-on operator. It will suit someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, impatient with inertia, and genuinely satisfied by a well-run cross-functional project. Location: Singapore Reports to: CEO, Singapore & Emerging Markets Type: Permanent, Full-Time Why This Role Exists A regional CEO can only be in one room at a time. This role exists to be in the others - to drive the strategic projects that cut across Product & Tech, Marketing, CX, Sales, Compliance and Finance, and to ensure nothing important falls through the gaps between them. In a regulated brokerage operating across multiple emerging markets, the distance between a good idea and a delivered outcome is usually operational, not intellectual. We generally know what we want to do. We need someone who owns how it actually happens - across functions, across borders, and across the reality of standing up business in markets that don't yet have a playbook.
