He has developed his professional career in his father's companies Timón and Prisa. He was a director of the Santillana de Ediciones Group until 2000, and since June of that same year, he was deputy to the presidency of Prisa. In November 2006 he was appointed vice president, a position he held until his appointment as president in July 2007, after the death of his father, Jesús de Polanco.
In 2021, the Polanco family sold down it share, and lost practically all its influence in Prisa, the most influential media group in Spain since the Transition.[2] By 2024, the brothers Manuel and Ignacio had only 12% of the large media and publishing empire that their father created. The two brothers are fully focused on their luxury hotel businesses, which, according to themselves, are what produce real profitability.[3]
