JOB DESCRIPTION

The SRB

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) is the central resolution authority within the Banking Union (BU). Together with the National Resolution Authorities (NRAs) of participating Member States (MS), it forms the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM). The SRB works closely with the NRAs, the European Commission (EC), the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and National Competent Authorities (NCAs). It contributes to safeguarding financial stability.

Its mission is to ensure an orderly resolution of failing banks with minimum impact on the real economy and on public finances of the participating Member States and beyond. Therefore, the SRB is granted with specific tasks and responsibilities to prepare for, and carry out, the resolution of banks that are failing or likely to fail.

The SRB is also responsible for managing the Single Resolution Fund, as established by the SRM Regulation, to ensure that financial funding support is available while a bank is being restructured and/or resolved.

The SRB is a self-financed agency of the European Union.

The job

The SRB is organising a call for expressions of interest with a view to establishing a reserve list of Temporary Agents for the position of Data and Digital Transformation Expert.

1. Profile

The Data & Digital Transformation Unit was established in the context of “SRM Vision 2028”. It is responsible for establishing a framework for a robust data ecosystem, fostering a culture of digital transformation and enabling data-driven decision-making. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled professional to join our team and contribute to the achievement of these objectives.

Tasks of the Data and Digital Transformation Expert

In particular, the Data and Digital Transformation Unit is responsible for the following tasks:

collaboration, and business process efficiency;

• Enable and stimulate a collective digital transformation initiative, leveraging on the SRM Digital Transformation Group and the Innovation Lab;

• Ensure the quality, integrity, and accessibility of our data assets;
• Support the development of robust data capabilities (business tools) and dashboards (Tableau).

The jobholder will contribute to the Unit’s work based on his/her specific skills and experience.

As other units, such as Crisis Management, Single Resolution Fund, Resolution and Analysis & Risks, also employ experts with similar skills and competences (e.g. coding, data management), the future reserve list may be utilised by other teams beyond the Data & Digital Transformation Unit. This illustrates the strategic focus put on data and digital transformation to support the various business areas.
