Your team
You will be part of the Employee Services Division (ESE) in the Directorate General Human Resources. Our Directorate General has over 100 professionals providing services to some 4,000 employees.
The Human Resources function at the ECB is transforming its business and customer interaction model to reduce complexity and become more agile and impactful. We are simplifying our processes through automation and by incorporating future-oriented policies and practices into the way we work and how we deliver people-centred and data-driven solutions.
The ESE Division is responsible for policies, processes and operations relating to payroll, benefits, working conditions, contracts, staff health and well-being. It also deals with the ECB’s pension funds, health, accident and long-term care insurance, and the social integration of staff and their families. In addition, the Division supports the Directorate General’s IT systems and provides people data and analytics.
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.

Desired:
- knowledge of enterprise resource planning systems such as SAP;

You engage collaboratively with others. You pursue team goals and learn willingly from other people’s diverse perspectives.
