Responsibilities

  • Manage milestones, deliverables, and reporting requirements for multiple European consortium-funded programmes, ensuring compliance with consortium obligations and timelines.
  • Coordinate with Hardware and Software Program Managers to ensure funded programme deliverables are integrated into internal work packages and development roadmaps.
  • Work with key engineering leaders across architecture, silicon, software, and integrated systems teams on program-specific tasks and deliverables, ensuring technical requirements are understood and addressed.
  • Serve as Axelera's primary representative to the consortium partners, project coordinators, and external stakeholders for these programmes.
  • Deliver regular written and verbal progress updates as required by programme agreements, including periodic progress reports, deliverable documentation, and technical summaries.
  • Attend in-person consortium meetings, steering committees, and partner discussions across Europe to represent Axelera's interests and maintain strong collaborative relationships.
  • Track and report programme status, risks, and dependencies, escalating issues as needed to ensure programme success.
  • Coordinate engagement with external suppliers and partners involved in the funded programmes, ensuring alignment on deliverables and timelines.
  • Establish and maintain programme documentation, governance frameworks, and communication channels to support effective multi-party collaboration.

  • Strong understanding of AI accelerator, system-on-chip, functional safety and software development lifecycles to effectively communicate with technical teams and external partners.
  • Demonstrated ability to represent an organisation professionally in multi-stakeholder environments, building credibility and maintaining productive relationships.
  • Experience working across matrixed organisations and coordinating activities without direct line authority, with the ability to manage by influence.
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to prepare formal reports, presentations, and deliverables for consortium submission.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, proactively identifying issues and driving resolution.
  • Strong focus on execution and delivery with meticulous attention to milestone tracking, reporting requirements, and deliverable quality.
  • Willingness to travel regularly within Europe for consortium meetings, partner engagements, and project events.
