AI Marketing Communication Lead 

AI is becoming a foundational technology for the global economy. As AI models become larger and more capable, competitive advantage increasingly depends on the ability to optimize across the full stack, from software and models to computing infrastructure and semiconductors. Few organizations have expertise across that entire spectrum. Imec is one of them. 

As a global leader in semiconductor innovation, with deep expertise in computing systems and AI technologies, imec is uniquely positioned to help organizations understand and navigate the technologies that will shape the future of AI. 
We are looking for an AI Marketing Communication Lead to help build and communicate that position. Working closely with technical and business colleagues, you will develop the narratives, positioning and ecosystem presence that establishes imec as a trusted voice at the intersection of AI, computing and semiconductor innovation.

• Collaborate closely with AI leadership, portfolio and business teams and colleagues across Corporate, Marketing & Outreach communications at imec HQ. 
• Shape the AI market position by developing a focused marketing communication strategy that turns imec’s AI offerings into a distinctive, credible and commercially relevant position.

• Lead strategic event and ecosystem activation by identifying the events, speaking opportunities and ecosystem touchpoints that strengthen imec’s position and connect our experts with relevant audiences. 
• Assist in building the imec AI brand by defining how imec can reach new AI-first customers, such as frontier model labs and AI builders. 
• Create high-impact customer-facing content by owning the narrative, briefing and/or developing core assets such as pitch decks, webpages, blog posts, video content and event content. 
• Be the point of contact within CMO for imec’s external-facing AI activities.
