Chief Executive Officer (COO) (H/F/X), Leuven

As COO, you are the executive owner of end-to-end execution across the Simera Sense Group operations, serving as the CEO’s natural second-in-command.

You are responsible for translating high-level strategy into predictable, scalable execution while ensuring that industrial and operational systems are fit for sustained growth and rigorous investor scrutiny. In other words:

You will lead and scale all operational functions - including supply chain optimization and resilience, assembly, integration, testing, and production - while translating company strategy into actionable operational plans, KPIs, and capacity roadmaps.

You drive production throughput, yield, and quality across global sites by leading local Managing Directors and establishing a central Group Project Management Office (PMO) to ensure delivery predictability and cross-site coordination.

Ensure high performance and resilience across the global supplier ecosystem while maintaining rigorous quality assurance, compliance, and industrial discipline.

You’ll serve as a permanent member of the Defence Programme Office (DPO) to enforce export control. Represent the company’s operational strengths to partners, investors, and institutional stakeholders.

And finally you lead the transition to a digitally integrated operating model using AI-supported tools and live reporting to establish an Industry 5.0 organization.
