As a project management/business analyst trainee in this area you will, among other things:

You will also see how the process-centric organisation of the ECB translates into our activities in the area of enterprise services. You will negotiate with different stakeholders with sometimes conflicting goals and present possible solutions for the team to assess and discuss their viability. You will gain experience in areas such as project management methodologies, the implementation of services in the cloud, change management, IT security and infrastructure integration and data protection.
