Our Directorate is responsible for providing technical and infrastructural facility management services, as well as ensuring security, safety and operational resilience. We have around 200 members of staff spread across three divisions
Premises, Administrative Services and Security and Safety. We also outsource several services, such as facility protection, cleaning and catering, which are provided by over 700 external personnel.

The Security and Safety Division protects the bank's staff, premises and operations and fosters health and safety, building and maintaining an ecosystem of partnerships with vendors, local authorities and other stakeholders.

In your role as Head of the Security and Safety Division you will lead a team of approximately 60 members of staff, designing and implementing security and safety concepts for the ECB's decision-making bodies, staff and premises.

You will deliver innovative technology, ongoing security risk management and constant monitoring of the ECB's threat landscape. You will manage the external service providers working for the Division (facility protection, security engineering, etc.).

You will report directly to Directorate Administration senior management and will work closely with the ECB's leadership across the organisation.

Your role

As Head of Division, you will:
create and communicate an inspiring vision and ensure its translation into an executable strategy and plans, thereby maintaining and enhancing organisational resilience and mitigating security and safety risks to the ECB's tangible and intangible assets;

- foster an optimal, trust-based working environment in which the management and staff of the Division are kept motivated and committed to achieving established goals through effective teamwork, while promoting diversity;
- achieve business objectives via workforce planning to attract and nurture diverse talent, and engage staff through empowerment and focused development;
- ensure effective communication and cooperation within the Division, with other Divisions and with other business areas;
- create an open culture based on inclusion, ethics and well-being where staff can thrive;
- initiate, manage and champion change and innovation, while ensuring the buy-in of those involved, thereby enabling the development, maintenance and enhancement of the related strategies, policies and services in anticipation of future customer and stakeholder needs and potential services.

This position offers you excellent opportunities to further enhance and build upon the ECB's security and safety vision, to promote and foster diversity and to champion change and innovation.

You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
