Your team

  • You will be part of the Directorate General On-Site and Internal Model Inspections. Our Directorate General has approximately 200 staff and is responsible for conducting onsite supervisory activities, ensuring the consistency of assessment approaches across the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and organising the SSM's onsite supervisory programme.
The SSM is the system of banking supervision in Europe. It comprises the ECB and the national supervisory authorities of the participating countries.


In your role as a trainee, you will be assigned either to one of our four divisions - Financial Risk Inspections, Non-Financial Risk Inspections, Internal Model Investigations, or Operations and Integration - or to the Directorate General's Senior Management Office.


The
Financial Risk Inspections Division assesses credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk in the banking book.

It is also responsible for conducting asset quality reviews.


The
Non-Financial Risk Inspections Division assesses governance and risk management, capital and business model, climate risk and operational risks (including IT risk).


The
Internal Model Investigations Division conducts internal model investigations and ensures the consistency of methodologies and processes related to the review of internal models for the calculation of minimum capital requirements (Pillar 1).


The
Operations and Integration Division plans and coordinates the on-site supervisory programme, managing the common processes involved, monitoring the programme's execution and preparing related reporting.


The
Senior Management Office coordinates the activities of the whole Directorate General On-Site and Internal Model Inspections related to the work of all four divisions.

You will work closely with colleagues in your team and division as well as across the SSM.

- assist with on-site inspections, asset quality reviews and internal model investigations (please note that this does not imply direct participation in these activities on the bank's premises);
- contribute to developing, maintaining and enhancing IT/data management tools and projects.


The position offers you excellent opportunities to analyse issues relating to prudential supervision and to strengthen your project management skills.
