Your team
The Directorate General Statistics consists of around 350 staff members who provide statistical products and services, as well as a whole range of aggregated and disaggregated data, to inform not only central banking and banking supervision policy decisions, but also the public at large. We therefore collaborate closely with the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), national competent authorities, Eurostat, the banking industry and other international bodies.
You would be joining the Directorate General at a very interesting and challenging time, given that we are currently working on modernising the data culture of the ECB, ESCB and ECB Banking Supervision to improve its fitness for a digital and globalised world in a period of rapid financial innovation.
In your role as a trainee, you will be part of a team responsible for collecting data and/or designing, programming and producing statistical indicators, and will work alongside committed and qualified colleagues and leaders in this field with relevant stakeholders such as economists and banking supervisors.
The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.

* work in a team and/or independently under the guidance of a mentor, taking the initiative and interacting with other members of staff and management;
* have an opportunity to potentially complete a conceptual or empirical study, develop statistical tools based on machine learning and present the results at a seminar.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to contribute to the production and development of state-of-the-art statistics and indicators for fact-based decision making in the fields of monetary policy, financial stability and banking supervision. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

You are curious and eager to learn, and want to further develop your ability to analyse complex information. You are keen to collaborate with others, pursue team goals and learn from other people’s diverse perspectives. You strive to know and anticipate stakeholder needs, and will signal any need for change and propose alternative solutions.
