Chicago, IL

Company: IG US Holdings Inc.
Role: Executive Assistant – People & HR | IG North America
Location: Chicago, IL - Hybrid (3 days/week in office)

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.

What You'll Do:


  • 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

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

Company Perks + Benefits: 


  • Performance Bonuses   

  • Stock Purchase Options   

  • Medical/Vision/Dental Benefits 

  • 401k Plan  

  • 20 Paid Vacation Days (plus an additional paid vacation day the month of your birthday!)   

  • 10 Paid Sick Days   

  • Gym Membership Reimbursement   

  • Commuter Benefits   

  • Pet Insurance   

  • Wellness & Mental Health Programs   

  • Charitable Donation Matching   

  • Two Paid Volunteer Days Off   

  • Daily catered lunch when in the office   

  • Full kitchen with snacks and beverages   

  • In-building gym   

  • Shuttle to/from Metra   

  • Office located in the West Loop - Chicago's growing center of tech, great cuisine, and high-end bars

Salary Range: $65,000 - $75,000
The actual salary offered will be based on the candidate's level of experience and qualifications.

Discretionary Performance Bonus: 8-12% of base salary based on individual and company performance.
