Your team

You will be part of the Directorate General Market Infrastructure and Payments, more precisely the Directorate Digital Euro, which started the digital euro preparation phase in November 2023. During this phase the focus will be on further preparing for the development of a digital euro, building on the findings from the investigation phase.

We are looking to fill specialist positions in the Product Proposition Division, the Rulebook Development Unit and the Strategy Unit, which are responsible for:

defining a best-in-class user experience for digital euro payments;

- contributing to the development of efficient end-to-end digital euro processes;
- engaging with market participants to develop a rulebook for a digital euro scheme;
- refining the proposed use cases by specifying the functional and non-functional requirements;
- working on the specifications for the offline digital euro;
- developing and implementing the engagement strategy for involving external stakeholders in the digital euro project.

Your role

As a Market Infrastructure Specialist in the Product Proposition Division or Rulebook Development Unit, you will both support the work of experts and work independently in one of the teams carrying out the preparatory work for:
defining the digital euro proposition for consumers and merchants, including the end-user experience (along with the digital euro app), end-user research, digital financial inclusion and environmental aspects;

- defining the digital euro proposition for intermediaries, including the digital euro compensation model, the roll-out approach and establishing how a digital euro would fit into the payment ecosystem;
- defining the digital euro use cases, including standards and requirements for person-to-person, point-of-sale and eCommerce digital euro payments, as well as offline specifications for both point-of-sale and person-to-person use cases;
- developing the digital euro rulebook, including the associated implementation specifications, in collaboration with the Rulebook Development Group.

As a Market Infrastructure Specialist in the Stakeholder Management team of the Strategy Unit, you will both support the work of experts and work independently on:

coordinating and preparing the interactions of the project team and senior ECB representatives with EU institutions and policymakers, as well as market participants;

- contributing to the team's work on developing and conveying strategic ideas and messages on a digital euro to market participants, policymakers and other external stakeholders, in close collaboration with other teams in the Directorate;
- following the legislative process on the proposal for a regulation on the establishment of the digital euro;
- supporting and representing the digital euro project team at various internal and external meetings (including with industry representatives);
- contributing to other tasks of the team.

These positions offer you an excellent opportunity to help shape the future of central bank money for all citizens and firms in the euro area and, in so doing, support the digitalisation of the euro area economy.

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