General Information

 

Type of contract  Traineeship

Who can apply?  EU nationals eligible for our traineeship programme

Grant  The trainee grant is €1,170 per month plus an accommodation allowance (see further information section)

Working time  Full time

Place of work  Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Your team

 

You will be part of the legal team of the Secretariat of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB). The ESRB is an independent EU body responsible for the macroprudential oversight of the EU financial system and for preventing and mitigating systemic risk.
The ESRB brings together representatives from around 80 institutions, including central banks and supervisors, as well as independent experts. It collects and analyses information on a wide range of financial institutions and markets, monitors macro-financial developments, and issues warnings and recommendations to policymakers and supervisors. Further information is available on the ESRB’s website.
The ESRB Secretariat is part of the European Central Bank (ECB) and provides analytical, statistical, logistical and administrative support to the ESRB. Our tasks include identifying and analysing systemic risks to the EU financial system, assessing and proposing macroprudential policies, preparing ESRB warnings and recommendations and monitoring their implementation, cooperating with supervisory and other macroprudential authorities, supporting ESRB working groups and preparing documents for meetings of the ESRB General Board and its substructures.
In your role as a legal trainee, you will be part of a legal team of five members of staff responsible for supporting, by providing legal advice, the work of other teams in the ESRB Secretariat and linking their tasks in financial stability and macroprudential policy to the legal framework. With their focus on risk assessment, banking and non-bank financial intermediaries, these teams provide analytical input into risk and policy reports, working closely with financial stability experts, analysts and trainees from across the Secretariat. The focus of your traineeship will therefore depend on the work of these other teams. Your tasks as a member of the legal team will also consist of helping draft ESRB legal acts, reports and other publications, assisting assessment teams during assessments of compliance with ESRB recommendations and interacting with member institutions.
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.

 

Your role

 

As a legal trainee you will:
  • support the ESRB, its decision-making bodies and the Secretariat in the fulfilment of their statutory responsibilities and obligations;
  • draft legal texts, such as ESRB recommendations and warnings, and assist with the adoption, transmission and publication of these instruments;
  • provide legal advice on the interpretation of the EU financial services regulatory framework and assist colleagues with policy development;
  • fulfil the role of secretary for assessments of compliance with ESRB recommendations.
The traineeship offers you excellent opportunities to further your knowledge of EU law and to contribute to shaping macroprudential policy in Europe. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

 

Qualifications, experience and skills

 

Essential: 
  • a bachelor’s degree or higher in law;
  • advanced knowledge of EU law, including EU financial services law, covering fields such as banking, insurance and pension funds, capital markets and market infrastructure;
  • a keen interest in financial stability matters and macroprudential policy, and an awareness of the wider economic, financial and geopolitical context;
  • the ability to communicate the results of complex analytical work to a non-expert audience;
  • a good knowledge of the MS Office package;
  • an advanced (C1) command of English and an intermediate (B1) command of at least one other official language of the EU, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Desired: 
  • a sound understanding of the macroprudential legal framework in the EU and the role of the ESRB.
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.
You are motivated to contribute to the ECB’s mission, to serve the citizens of the EU as a member of a public institution and to work with colleagues from all over Europe. You are keen to be part of our team and to use your skills and competencies to achieve the aims of this position.

Your team

 

You will be part of the Business Cycle Analysis Division in the Directorate General Economics. Our Directorate General assesses and forecasts economic developments and provides policy advice on topical economic issues relevant to the euro area economy. Our analysis is published in the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, Occasional Paper Series and Working Paper Series and The ECB Blog.
The Business Cycle Analysis Division analyses and forecasts real macroeconomic developments in the largest euro area countries and the euro area as a whole. This involves monitoring business cycles, analysing the main domestic demand components, and developing innovative economic and forecasting tools using state-of-the-art AI techniques, including machine learning, text mining and big data processing. The Division also conducts two major ECB surveys, the Consumer Expectations Survey (CES) and Corporate Telephone Survey (CTS), which play an important role in gaining deeper insights into the behaviour and dynamics of euro area households and firms.
The current analytical work of the Division relates to:
  • understanding the implications monetary policy transmission, supply and demand conditions and uncertainty have for business cycle dynamics, as well as for households’ and firms’ spending, investment and saving decisions;
  • developing nowcasting and short-term forecasting tools for economic activity, using state-of-the-art AI techniques;
  • investigating the heterogeneity of households and firms in driving aggregate economic fluctuations, the impact of recent crises on the behaviour of households and firms, and the varying effects of monetary and fiscal policies;
  • improving forecasting for the euro area and the largest euro area economies, including scenario analysis.
In your role as a trainee, you will be part of either the Data Support team or the CES team, both of which have a key function in the Division. The Data Support team is heavily involved in the policy process, including the production of high-quality charts and other inputs to the Division’s regular analysis, as well as the preparation of presentations for Executive Board members and the Directorate General’s senior management. The team is also responsible for maintaining and enhancing the Division’s data infrastructure and tools. The CES team is responsible for the smooth functioning and continuous improvement of the Consumer Expectations Survey, including the regular production of key indicators and publications, and questionnaire design and development. A large part of the team’s work involves maintaining and enhancing the Division’s data infrastructure, visualisation tools and documentation. The team also regularly provides policy-relevant insights on the saving and consumption behaviour of euro area consumers by analysing CES microdata.
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.

 

Your role

 

As a trainee you will:
  • support the Division with policy-relevant assignments, working closely with other members of your team and the Division’s economists;
  • prepare tables and charts for internal and external reports, and presentations for Executive Board members and the Directorate General’s senior management in collaboration with other business areas;
  • maintain and enhance the Division’s data infrastructure, including processing, consolidating and transforming datasets, maintaining and developing databases and visualisation tools and assisting in automating and adapting regular work processes;
  • contribute to the formulation of policy advice to support policymakers and the Division’s broader economic assessments, using data analytics and statistical and econometric tools;
  • contribute to the improvement of analytical, econometric and forecasting tools.
The traineeship offers you excellent opportunities to develop your quantitative skills, contribute to analytical tasks and work with experienced economists on topical economic issues. It also provides you with a unique opportunity to gain insights into economic analysis and policy decision-making in a central bank. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
