Your team

You will be part of the Non-Financial Risk Division in the Directorate Supervisory Strategy and Risk. The Directorate has approximately 65 members of staff and is responsible for identifying the main risks for the banking sector, proposing Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) priorities, strategic planning and risk tolerance levels for the identified supervisory risk dimensions, performing reviews to assess the quality, consistency and compliance of supervisory outcomes, and coordinating operational risk tasks and mitigation measures for the SSM business areas.

We are currently preparing an in-depth analysis, in collaboration with the SSM Operational Risk Management Senior Expert Group (SOSEG), on operational risk management practices in the ECB and national competent authorities. In addition, we are in the process of rolling out the Eurosystem/European System of Central Banks (ESCB) Business Continuity Management framework in the SSM. We also provide the secretariat function to the SOSEG.

In your role as a Senior Supervisor, you will be part of the Operational Risk Management team of four members of staff responsible for coordinating the above-mentioned tasks. You will work closely with the Team Lead responsible for operational risk and act on his/her behalf if necessary.

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

The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply, irrespective of your gender, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or other characteristics.

Your role

As a Senior Supervisor you will:

• engage and collaborate with SOSEG members and with the ECB's Operational Risk and Business Continuity Management Section
• support the development of comprehensive assessment criteria for each assessed risk;
• help analyse the self-assessments and evidence provided by ECB business areas and national competent authorities;
• coordinate SOSEG actions regarding the roll-out of the Business Continuity Management framework to the SSM.

The position offers you excellent opportunities to gain a deep insight into SSM processes, focusing on operational risk and business continuity management as well as gaining a broader overview of the activities carried out by the Directorate. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
