Job Description: IFS builds enterprise software for the industries that run the world – energy, manufacturing, construction, aerospace and telecom among them. As AI moves from pilot to daily practice across our Product Management organisation, we need someone who can turn that shift into practical, adopted ways of working that help teams make better decisions and reduce friction at scale.

We're looking for someone who can bring structure to complex, cross-functional problems – identifying root causes, creating practical solutions, and helping teams adopt better ways of working at scale. This role sits at the intersection of portfolio management, product management and financial/commercial planning, with AI-agentic first ways of working central to the role. You will use AI tools as your default way of working, and prototype and implement reusable agents, data products and automated workflows that remove friction at scale.

You'll report into IFS Product & Technology Strategy & Planning organisation, working closely with Product Management leadership. This is an individual-contributor role. Your impact is measured in influence, clarity and adopted capabilities.

You can be located in any of these countries: UK, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden or Sri Lanka.

• Portfolio insight and decision enablement: turn portfolio data, initiative context and business signals into self-serve insights, decision tools and clear options that help product managers and leaders make better-informed prioritisation, investment and sequencing decisions.
• Predictive and scenario-based portfolio analysis: build predictive models that forecast portfolio outcomes, and model alternative scenarios, trade-offs and opportunity costs.
• Capital allocation and ROI: develop clear, evidence-based recommendations for how investment should be allocated across products and define how ROI and benefits realisation are tracked once decisions are made.
• Strategy support: use AI-powered knowledge management to make our strategy and roadmap easier to consume and act on.
• Root cause analysis: dig past symptoms to understand why the same friction keeps recurring across teams and help design sustainable solutions rather than local workarounds.
• Turning ambiguity into scalable capability: clarify ambiguous requirements, translate recurring organisational friction into repeatable processes, operating models and help teams adopt AI-enabled solutions broadly.
• Agentic enablement: design, prototype and deploy AI agents, workflows and decision-support tools that scale across the product management organisation.
• Enablement over control: create the tools, data products, AI agents and operating mechanisms that allow product managers to work more independently and effectively.

Qualifications: You do not need to meet every point below. We are most interested in candidates who can combine strong portfolio/product thinking with analytical judgement, curiosity about AI-enabled ways of working, and the ability to translate complexity into practical, adopted solutions.

• Background in product operations, portfolio management, product management, or a closely related role.
• Financial and commercial fluency – comfortable modelling portfolio scenarios, trade-offs and opportunity costs.
• Comfort operating at the portfolio level – able to turn complex prioritisation and sequencing questions into clear data, evidence and options.
• Practical confidence using modern AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot.
• A strong preference for enabling teams through better tools, clearer processes, self-serve answers and AI-enabled ways of working.
• Comfort clarifying ambiguous requirements, shaping a path forward and working with stakeholders to build alignment.
• Hands-on experience building or configuring AI agents, workflows or self-service tools.
• Enough understanding of how software gets built in an AI-assisted world to partner credibly with engineering.
• Experience in enterprise software or B2B SaaS product organisations.
• Familiarity with portfolio management frameworks.
