Belgian AI Factory Antenna Coordinator 

As Coordinator of the Belgian AI Factory Antenna, you are responsible for the successful coordination of the service delivery to companies and for the project management of the Antenna. 

What you will do

Belgium joins the European network of AI-Factories and Antennas with the establishment of the Belgian AI Factory Antenna. The Antenna will start early 2026. The antenna will provide companies, researchers and public institutions with: 

• Expert services for developing and deploying large-scale AI models,  
• Access to AI-optimized computing infrastructure in AI Factories in Europe 
• Access to high-quality, interoperable datasets, and  
• Training on using the infrastructure and the datasets. 

The consortium of the antenna unites 23 leading research centers, universities and public institutions from four distinct ecosystems—Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels-Capital, and the Federal State.  Imec coordinates the Antenna.  

You will work closely together with the Antenna director and the consortium partners of the antenna, and you will engage in the AI ecosystem with companies and organizations. 
 
Your responsibilities include: 

• Coordinating the Service Delivery. This includes defining a service delivery and management process: setting up an ordering framework with a services portal,  deploying a business management platform and coordinating the assessment of customer AI needs, and the referral to an Antenna service or to external partners together with the account managers and technical staff of the consortium partners. Ensuring high-quality and timely service delivery is the key goal. This will require setting up a fluent and effective collaboration with the associated AI Factories and the technical services staff. The service delivery process will need to align seamlessly with  the customer management process. As service delivery coordinator, you will also need to give input for the communication and participate in events.   
• Leading the Project Office, supporting the successful operational execution of the Belgian AI Factory Antenna in close collaboration with the Antenna director and consortium partners. Tasks include setting up a collaboration environment, internal communication and internal events, quality assurance and risk management, administrative and financial management, KPI and indicator measurement and reporting.
