The freedom and responsibility at IMS keep motivating me
We value giving our employees freedom at IMS. But with that freedom also comes a great deal of responsibility. Jasper Minten, Marketer at IMS, explains how he experiences this balance in his work.
Who are you, and what do you do at IMS?
“My name is Jasper and I work as a marketer at IMS. I started my career at an agency, where I gained experience in online marketing, strategy and tactics. What really attracted me at IMS is the combination of high-tech innovation and the freedom to create impact independently. My goal is to position IMS as a known and recognized high-tech organization for production automation. The broad scope of my position gives me the opportunity to contribute both strategically and creatively. I enjoy my work a lot, and am determined to further develop myself within the company.”
Jasper, what can you tell about your role as a Marketer at IMS?
“As a marketer I am responsible for everything we communicate through our corporate channels. This means that I am both involved in regular marketing and communication activities as well as supporting Sales and HR. I work in close collaboration with the Sales team to identify potential leads and make sure we present ourselves right at customers. Even though I have a marketing background and little experience in technology, being curious gets me a long way here. At IMS you can always reach out to your colleagues to learn more about the technical side of our work. That cooperation makes my work fun, varied and challenging.”
What’s it like working at IMS?
“I find the freedom that I get here incredibly valuable. For example, I like to exercise in the morning before I start work. A fresh start of the day helps me get to work more energetic and focused. Being able to schedule my own working hours also leaves me time in the evening for other things I enjoy, such as extensively cooking.”
“What I truly appreciate is that this freedom comes with responsibility. You’re expected to get the job done, and that takes discipline. At IMS, there’s a genuine trust that you will, and that trust motivates people to take their roles seriously.”
How would you describe the company culture?
“We have an open culture, you can feel that in everything we do. Doors are always open, it’s easy to walk in and ask anyone for advice or just have a chat. We work toward our goals as a team and celebrate our successes together. At the same time, there’s plenty of room to carve your own path. That mutual trust creates a strong foundation. When things get tough, we’ve got each other’s backs. No one gets left behind; we move forward together. Besides that, IMS also places a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There’s a hybrid work policy, depending on your role, but most of us enjoy being in the office regularly.”
What makes working at IMS special to you?
“What stands out most to me is the passion and drive you see throughout the company. Whether you’re in a technical department like Mechanical Engineering or Controls Engineering, or in my team in Sales & Marketing. Everyone is committed to deliver top-notch work.”
“We specialize in complex, highly automated production lines, which call for precision and teamwork. We do not head home until everything is just right. Because we know how much that matters to our clients. That level of dedication is visible across all layers of the organization.”
Is there anything you would like to change about your job?
“As a marketer, I’d love for us to be able to showcase more of the projects we’re working on. We build production lines that are technically spectacular and solve incredibly complex challenges. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality, we can’t always share these stories externally. Which is a shame in my opinion. The work we do, may feel like routine to us, but it would be truly impressive to others. I’d like to showcase that more.”
What would you say to someone considering a career at IMS?
“IMS offers a lot of freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility. If you’re someone who thrives on variety, teamwork and challenge, then this is a fantastic place to work. You have the flexibility to manage your own schedule, but you also need to take ownership of what you do. If you can strike that balance, you’ll definitely feel at home here.”
