We also build and maintain several risk dashboards for the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), are responsible for the definition and calculation of the key risk indicators and publish various aggregated and bank-level supervisory data, such as quarterly supervisory banking statistics. We are currently seeking to recruit a number of Analysts.
The SSM is the system of banking supervision in Europe. It comprises the ECB and the national supervisory authorities of the participating countries.

The position offers you excellent opportunities to contribute to the core functions of ECB Banking Supervision through the delivery of timely, complete and accurate data, derived data and dashboards to inform supervisory decision-making. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
