Your team

You will be part of the Information Governance Division in the Directorate General Secretariat.

We are currently one of the key players of the ECB Digital Transformation initiative.

In your role as Digital Content Collaboration Expert, you will be part of a team of six members of staff focusing on all aspects of the ECB collaboration tools suite, including real-time document collaboration, document storage, mobile editing, intranet and other tools used to improve information collaboration.

You will help to solve multidimensional information management problems, improve user experience and generate value for the ECB and ESCB users by leveraging on existing technology and/or identifying innovative new ways forward.

You will provide front-end/user interface (UI) configuration, design, platform management, testing and training services for a range of content management and collaboration tools, including OpenText Content Server 16.2.10, Microsoft 365, Confluence and Interact. More specifically, you will work with end-users to analyse, design and configure new collaboration solutions. This may involve developing workflows and integrations between systems, templates and web reports, as well as migrating data and creating an interface with other applications. 

You will have to work together with teams across the ECB to understand their requirements and workflow needs. You will work closely with other collaboration system owners on cross-functional opportunities to create a seamless and connected ecosystem to make developers, system owners, management and others more open and efficient.

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 your gender, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or other characteristics.

As a Digital Content Collaboration Expert, you will:

• execute the collaboration-related activities of the Enterprise Information Management strategy and the Division’s strategic planning in close cooperation with other business areas;

• support the adoption and strategic use of collaboration tools;
• communicate progress and performance to stakeholders and senior management; 
• drive the ECB’s collaboration application and integration strategy to create a holistic environment. 

The position offers you excellent opportunities to contribute to the digital transformation of a dynamic institution. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
