Your team You will be part of the Secretariat of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), the ECB business area that provides analytical, statistical, logistical and administrative support to the ESRB.

The ESRB is responsible for the macroprudential oversight of the EU financial system and the prevention and mitigation of systemic risk. The ESRB therefore has a broad remit, covering banks, insurers, asset managers, shadow banks, financial market infrastructures and other financial institutions and markets. In pursuit of its macroprudential mandate, the ESRB assesses systemic risks and, where appropriate, issues warnings and recommendations. It also has a broad membership, with representatives from 80 different European institutions, including central banks and supervisory authorities.

In your role as Financial Stability Expert, you will be part of a team responsible for analysing systemic risks to the EU financial system, proposing macroprudential policies and assessing those put forward by EU Member States, preparing warnings and recommendations, and monitoring their implementation. You will also cooperate with supervisory authorities and other macroprudential authorities, support ESRB working groups and prepare documents for the ESRB’s General Board meetings.

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 age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.

Your role As a Financial Stability Expert you will:

• analyse developments in the financial sector, particularly in banking, to identify risks to financial stability in the EU, drafting policy notes that highlight these risks and proposing measures to tackle them;
• contribute to the ESRB Secretariat’s work to implement and further develop the macroprudential policy framework in Europe;
• contribute to preparing ESRB warnings and recommendations aimed at preventing and/or mitigating systemic risk, and monitor their implementation;
• provide analytical and secretariat support to ESRB committees and working groups and represent the ESRB Secretariat in these fora;
• work closely with your colleagues in the ESRB Secretariat and wider ESRB community, and establish strong working relationships with colleagues in other ECB business areas;
• engage with ESRB stakeholders to ensure open and effective communication between different authorities;
• participate in preparing reports, papers and presentations.

The position offers you excellent opportunities to work at the heart of macroprudential policymaking in Europe and to interact with numerous stakeholders. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

Qualifications, experience and skills Essential:

• a master’s degree or equivalent in economics, finance, accounting, law or another relevant field (see How you can join us for details on degree equivalences);
• in addition to the above, a minimum of three years’ professional experience (other than as an intern) specialising in financial stability analysis, financial market policies or financial supervision (micro- or macroprudential);
• experience working at a central bank, supervisory authority, other ESRB institution or other international institution (e.g. the OECD, the IMF or the BIS);
• a sound understanding of the EU macroprudential framework, financial institutions, financial markets and financial regulation;
• an advanced (C1) command of English and an intermediate (B1) command of at least one other official language of the EU, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Desired:

• experience of working in international expert groups and/or supporting or coordinating such groups.

You engage collaboratively with others. You pursue team goals and learn willingly from other people’s diverse perspectives. You signal any need for change by explaining it and proposing alternative solutions. You analyse complex information effectively and can evaluate different views to arrive at solutions. You know and anticipate stakeholder needs.

You are motivated to be part of our team and to develop and use your skills and competencies to achieve the aims of this position.

You are aware of your strengths and areas for development and know what motivates you to perform at your highest level.
