Anticipate political and regulatory trends and decisions to identify valuable opportunities (funding, partnerships, collaborative programmes) and risks to mitigate.- Influence and external representation: Develop and drive our institutional influence strategy. Engage in information and responsible lobbying efforts with public decision-makers and defence bodies (European Commission and Parliament, Belgian and French ministries, NATO representatives, etc.), in line with Group and legal frameworks, with the aim of promoting our interests and Safran's in public decisions and programmes.- Funding structuring and participation in collaborative programmes: Work with the R&T programme and commercial/military programmes to structure funding applications (R&T grants, investment aid, research tax credits, etc.) to maximise external financial support. Promote our integration into international defence/cooperation projects (EU, EDA, EDF, NATO programmes, bilateral partnerships) to strengthen our position on strategic programmes and develop new market opportunities.- Network development and institutional partnerships: Build, nurture and grow a strong network of external relations (political decision-makers, public agency and organisation leaders, industrial partners, professional representatives) to strengthen our visibility and influence within our institutional environment. Maintain regular contact with key stakeholders (elected officials, programme administrators, funding agency leaders, etc.) to position us favourably in relevant public debates and decisions.- Representing Safran Aero Boosters in external bodies: Actively represent us within relevant professional organisations, clusters, industry associations, think tanks and working groups, at regional, national and international level, and voice our positions on strategic topics (innovation, aeronautics, defence, public funding, regulation), in line with Safran Group's positions.- Internal coordination and strategic alignment: Act as the interface between us and Safran Group on all institutional matters. Coordinate internally with the Strategy, Commercial & Programmes (DSCP), R&T/Innovation (DINNO), Finance, Legal and Communications departments to ensure an integrated, consistent approach. Work closely with the International Development and Institutional Relations Department (DIRI – Développement International et Relations Institutionnelles) of Safran Group to align our initiatives with Group strategy and best practices.- Internal strategic support and advice: Provide our top management (and Group Management) with analyses and recommendations on the institutional environment.
Success indicators for this role:- Effective influence / external contributions: You achieve tangible results with external bodies, for example on European or international R&D programmes, favourable regulatory developments for our activities, or our admission to a new consortium.- Public funding secured: You secure a volume and success rate of public funding (grants, aid, co-financing) in line with set targets.- Network development and visibility: You build institutional partnerships in both number and quality. You establish us as a recognised reference player on our topics, with positive feedback from public stakeholders and invitations to official consultations.- Group alignment and compliance: You ensure there are no compliance incidents (no breaches of transparency and ethics rules). You also ensure the satisfaction of Safran Group's International Development and Institutional Relations Department (DIRI), maintaining a smooth flow of information and a positive contribution to Group initiatives in this area.

You have a strong command of the international institutional landscape (EU, NATO, Belgian and French public funding ecosystems). You have a good understanding of the business models and technical concepts of the aeronautics sector, needed to build your credibility, both internally and with external contacts. Knowledge of Safran's compliance charters and procedures or equivalent (responsible lobbying, ethics) is a plus for a quick start in the role.- Languages: You are fluent in French, Dutch and English, both spoken and written (used daily in an international context). Knowledge of other EU or NATO languages is an asset.Your soft skills:- Excellent interpersonal skills: you easily and naturally build connections with people from all backgrounds.- Big-picture thinking: you think strategically and across functions, and know how to navigate complex environments.- Proactivity and entrepreneurial spirit: taking initiative and driving innovative projects motivates you.
