Your team

You will be part of the Technology and Innovation Division of the Directorate General SSM Governance and Operations.

The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) is the system of banking supervision in Europe. It comprises the ECB and the national supervisory authorities of the participating countries.

The Directorate General works together with other SSM stakeholders to ensure the right support for decision-making processes, assess potential new bank shareholders and requests for new banking licences, ensure that the leaders of supervised institutions are suitable and independently investigate alleged breaches of the prudential regulations. It also deploys technological infrastructure, drives innovation and takes charge of knowledge management and training activities for the SSM.

The Technology and Innovation Division leads the digital transformation in European banking supervision. This includes steering and developing all of the SSM’s technology platforms and applications, ranging from new artificial intelligence (AI) applications to the IMAS portal, the core information management system used for banking supervision. The Division comprises three sections: SupTech Systems, SupTech Analytics and SupTech Engagements.

Your role
