Join Team Purple.

Join IFS.

Job Description Sit beside the CFO of a €15 billion company.

Find the problems that matter.

Build the case.

Drive the change.

IFS is approaching €2 billion in revenue and growing more than 20% a year — because we bet earlier and harder on industrial AI than anyone in our category.

EQT, Hg, TA Associates, ADIA, and CPP Investments didn't fund incremental software growth.

They funded a thesis: the companies that build and run the physical world will run on agentic AI, and on IFS.

That thesis generates real decisions — on capital, on structure, on where the business is and isn't working — every quarter.

This role exists to find the friction, frame the question, and drive the answer through to something that actually changes.

What you’ll own Answer the unowned questions.

Build or buy?

Enter this vertical — at what cost, for what return?

Where is margin actually made and lost?

How far can AI rewire our own cost base?

You scope each from a blank page and return with a recommendation that holds up in the room.

Identify what's broken and drive it to fixed.

You’ll carry two or three major cross-functional initiatives at any time — not as a contributor, but as the owner.

That means diagnosing the real problem, aligning the right people across the business, and holding accountability for the output.

This isn't advisory work.

The change happens, or it doesn't, and that's on you.

Build the case — and present it.
