Iliad

Iliad is a European telecommunications group founded in 1999 by Xavier Niel. It operates mobile and fixed-line services across three markets - France, Italy and Poland - under the brands Free, iliad and Play, serving 45.3 million subscribers and employing over 16,500 people. The Group's technical work spans fixed-line broadband, mobile networks, converged triple-play services and digital products, including the world's first triple-play box, an invention that changed how consumers access digital services.

For creative professionals, the appeal lies partly in the breadth of the work. Teams operate across three distinct national brands and consumer markets, with the chance to move between them and to explore different careers within the Group. Brand and product work touches consumer electronics and connected devices as well as connectivity services themselves.

The Group describes its culture as built on autonomy, speed and collective spirit. Teams are trusted to take ownership and to act on their own judgement, in an environment where innovation is constant. Recruitment is conducted without prejudice, with an emphasis on people over backgrounds, and the Group states a commitment to being a major job creator, particularly for young people and those entering the workforce for the first time.

Beyond its commercial operations, Iliad campaigns on consumer rights, fair prices and data protection through The Free Foundation, which has carried this work for 20 years. The Group's website is iliad.fr.
