You will be part of the Operations & Integration Division in the Directorate General On-site & Internal Model Inspections. The Directorate General plans, performs and coordinates on-site inspections and internal model investigations in collaboration with the national competent authorities (NCAs), helping identify risks and supervisory priorities.

In this role, you will be part of a team of about 15 staff members responsible for the planning and staffing of SSM on-site inspections (OSIs) and internal model investigations (IMIs). You will closely cooperate with NCAs’ planning offices on the planning and staffing of on-site missions, support the operational launch of OSIs and IMIs, maintain and enhance planning tools and dashboards, and perform data analysis and prepare presentations to underpin the overall planning process.

The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) is the system of banking supervision in Europe. It comprises the ECB and the national supervisory authorities of the participating countries.

• engage and collaborate with the various stakeholders working with the Operations & Integration Division, including colleagues from the NCAs and the other divisions of the Directorate General;
• establish, maintain and enhance planning tools, dashboards and datasets to support the planning and staffing of missions;

For this role, candidates should demonstrate the potential for growth, and the selected candidate will be supported in developing the required skills.

The position offers excellent opportunities to actively contribute to delivering on DG-OMI’s mandate using technical skills and to strengthen project management skills by dealing with key supervisory processes in a multi-stakeholder environment. You will also further develop your ability to think analytically and challenge constructively, with a focus on results, teamwork, cooperation and communication.

You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
