Strategic Manager Academic Research

Research & development - Leuven | Just now

Join us to help integrate hundreds of academic researchers and their research into imec roadmaps.

Strategic Manager Academic Research

What you will do

Imec has a long-standing and strategic relationship with specific research groups at Flemish universities. These groups consist of about 700 talented researchers in 9 research groups across Flemish universities. These researchers have dual affiliations: they are part of their university and part of imec. This strategic collaboration gives imec direct access to new basic research; research that challenges, inspires and helps to implement our roadmaps. It also gives the university groups access to imec's global deep-tech research and partners.  We are working on a stronger integration of these university groups into the imec R&D organization. To operationalize this integration, we are looking for a "Strategic Manager Academic Research". You will be part of a team that manages the integration of these research groups (called Embedded Groups - "EG's"), reporting directly to the Managing Director of the Embedded Groups, and working closely with the steerco of the Embedded Groups. You will manage the budget allocated to the EG's. You will define, optimize and innovate the strategy, processes, methods and tools for the organization/integration of the EG's within the larger imec research organization. You will train, coordinate and support EG and imec stakeholders in the adoption and execution of the EG strategy, processes, methods and tools. You will coordinate and consolidate imec reporting regarding EG information/business. You will be the SPOC within imec regarding EG operational excellence, both for imec and the universities. 

What we do for you

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 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 y, '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. 

Who you are

You have a strong drive and operational acumen and are passionate about technology that allows you to quickly grasp the essence of technical discussions. You are very diplomatic and able to easily interact with management, researchers and administrative staff. You have knowledge of the Flemish research & innovation landscape, and experience in working in a university context is an asset. You have a "get things done" attitude. You have experience in project management and are familiar with the principles of budgeting and cost accounting. You strive to support teams to reach their ambitions.  You easily build and maintain internal networks and your integrity, and your no-nonsense solution-oriented approach inspire colleagues to provide the quality timely input you need. You can assess problems and opportunities, prioritize and act flexibly, and you can escalate at the right time. You quickly master tools that support business operations, such as ERP tools (. SAP, Cornerstone), CRM tools, statistical analysis/reporting packages (. Excel, PowerBI). You are a team player, who works closely with the technical teams, management and central administration. You are fluent in English; active knowledge of Dutch is an advantage.
