Be the person the CFO trusts to tell the capital markets story - to lenders, rating agencies, the board, and equity investors - and make sure every number behind it is bulletproof.

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.

A capital structure this complex - multiple PE sponsors, institutional co-investors, leveraged debt facilities, and credit ratings to maintain - generates a relentless cycle of reporting, communication, and event support. None of it is routine. Every board pack, lender deliverable, and rating agency interaction is a moment where IFS's credibility is either reinforced or eroded. This role exists to make sure it's always reinforced.

Board reporting. You own the board report end-to-end. That means shaping the narrative, assembling the financials, pressure-testing the commentary, and ensuring the pack tells a coherent story about where the business is and where it's going. You'll work directly with the CFO to land the message - and you'll be close enough to the detail to defend every line.

Monthly finance call. You own the preparation and materials for the monthly finance review - the operating rhythm through which the CFO and senior leadership track performance, flag issues, and make decisions. You ensure the pack is sharp, the variances are explained, and the meeting moves fast.

Lender reporting. You own the quarterly lender compliance and information packs. Covenant calculations, financial summaries, management commentary – produced to the standard a syndicate of institutional lenders expects. Accuracy matters; so does timeliness. You will build the relationships with the lender group and manage the ongoing dialogue.

Credit rating agency support. You will lead the preparation for annual credit rating reviews and ad hoc interactions with the agencies. That means assembling the data room, preparing management presentations, anticipating the questions, and ensuring IFS presents a clear, consistent, and well-evidenced credit story.

Refinance and debt capital markets support. When the business refinances, extends, or restructures its debt facilities, you will be at the centre of the workstream - coordinating with external advisors, preparing management presentations, building the information flow, and supporting the CFO through execution. This is high-stakes, time-pressured work with direct exposure to institutional investors and banks.

Equity event support. For any equity-related process…
