Government relations manager to support the many parallel projects on expanding imec's presence internationally
What you will do
Imec continues to grow internationally, including across Europe. This requires the design, development and execution of strategies across several countries. A strong internal follow up and coordination across various teams within imec, as well as a coordinated engagement with policymakers at EU and national level are crucial to enable success.
Imec is therefore looking for a professional with strong project management, strategic, and execution skills, as well as a proven track record regarding political engagement, to strengthen imec’s international focus and support its various teams.
This is a role within a strategic department at imec where you will help design, develop and execute strategies in Europe, during an exciting time, in an increasingly complex but rewarding environment. The position requires a strong understanding of regulatory frameworks, and the ability to oversee complex projects. The ideal candidate will balance both project execution and relationship management.
The role will be part of imec’s Corporate Strategy Office (CSO) and will report to the Head of Government Relations for Europe. This position will be based in imec’s headquarters in Leuven, Belgium.
In this role, your core tasks will be:
- Support imec’s international focus, via strong project management skills, bringing together cross-functional teams to ensure a coordinated approach,
- Use project management tools to track project timelines, risks, deliverables, and progress,
- Developing, advising, implementing innovative government affairs policy to support the international objectives of imec,
- Partner with external policy stakeholders and support the positive reputation for imec amongst policy makers at European and national level,
- Actively monitor, research, and analyze EU and national policy and regulatory developments, and overall political environment,
- Communicate through regular written, verbal and virtual updates to internal imec stakeholders.
We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.
We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits.
