- Budget tracking sheets, investment status reports and audit‑ready cost documentation (personnel, equipment, subcontracting) in collaboration with finance and accounting.
- DNSH (“Do No Significant Harm”) certificates and other environmental and regulatory certifications required by the funding programs.
- Guarantee strict compliance with deadlines: maintain a consolidated calendar of milestones, reporting obligations and requirement response windows.
- Act as the main point of contact with consortiums representatives, granting bodies, auditors, external advisors and certification entities.
- Coordinate internal stakeholders (finance, engineering, operations and legal) to gather the evidence required for justifications, requirements and audits.
- Monitor new public funding opportunities and support the preparation of new applications.
What You Bring
- Experience: A minimum of 3 years in public funding, grants, R&D subsidies or innovation financing, ideally in national and/or EU‑funded programs (IPCEI, PERTE, CDTI, Horizon Europe, Next Generation EU).
- Solid knowledge of Spanish grant regulations and justification processes (Ley General de Subvenciones, ministerial orders, electronic registry procedures).
- Familiarity with DNSH requirements, state aid rules and grant audit processes.
- Strong organizational skills, rigor with documentation and absolute respect for deadlines.
- Languages: Fluent Spanish and English (written and spoken).
Tools

Nice to have

- Experience with IPCEI or PERTE projects in industrial or semiconductor environments.
- Experience preparing or supporting grant audits (auditor reports, controls by public intervention bodies).
What We Offer
- Development and growth: you will manage a multi‑million public funding portfolio linked to strategic and innovation projects, with development opportunities in a fast‑growing technology scale‑up.
