Job Description
Reporting to the Loops CEO, the Commercial Director is the senior operating leader responsible for turning IFS Loops strategic direction into a disciplined, repeatable growth engine. Far beyond a strategy role, it is an execution role for someone who knows how to build and run a focused software business inside a larger enterprise, and who can bring the IFS network, install-base understanding, and operational rigor required to scale at pace.
The Commercial Director will work closely with the IFS AI COO, the RVP Loops and cross-functional leaders across product, engineering, sales, and services to ensure the business is structured, governed, and resourced to hit its 2026 targets.
Key Responsibilities
Operating model and governance
- Establish and run the weekly operating cadence across product, GTM, delivery, and finance. This will require focus, consistency and discipline, working across functions and time-zones
- Work with the adoption team, primarily Head of Adoption Loops and SVP AI Adoption to build and maintain a repeatability scorecard to track deployment quality, renewal rates, and adoption health
- Identify and deprioritize non-core workstreams that create drag without contributing to the IFS Loops growth strategy into the targeted markets (Digital Workers)
- Ensure the business can scale operationally from current levels toward a governed, repeatable growth model
Go-to-market execution
- Partner with sales leadership to drive volume from the IFS installed base, the primary near-term growth engine
- Ensure commercial plays are standardized, repeatable, and tied to the EUR 100k–EUR 300k workflow deal profile that defines the 2026 plan unless otherwise aligned with the commercial and product marketing teams
- Work with product and presales to lock key dependencies e.g. connector priorities and translate them into pipeline
- Support activation of approved parallel motions e.g. the HG / EQT adjacent growth motion, ensuring sellers are equipped and focused on the digital worker stack
Hiring and team build-out
- Support the Talent and hiring process as required by the CEO Loops and wider leadership team – this includes tracking open roles, and supporting with interviews
- Monitor and assess presales and consulting capacity as deployment volume scales, taking corrective action as necessary
- Track capacity dependencies impacting the ability to bring products to market
Financial and delivery oversight
- Work with AI CFO, AI Sales Ops, & Demand Gen Leader to ensure ACV targets, blended ASP assumptions, and deal mix are coherent and tracked
- Monitor progress against the 2026 success measures: ~EUR 16m incremental ACV, ~130 digital workers sold, and material improvement in adoption and renewal rates
Strategy discipline
- Weekly Management Reporting: RAG status, risks, open items, and clear communication to stakeholders across 3 levels (Loops, Sales Leadership, ELT)
- Hold the line on strategic focus: digital workers first, selective connector expansion, controlled extensibility through Agent Studio, no drift into broad OEM platform positioning or other parallel motions
- Maintain a clear “not-now list” and enforce it through roadmap governance
Prepare regular CEO checkpoints with clear go/no-go recommendations
