Your team

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

We are currently devising an enterprise information management strategy and laying the foundations for a knowledge management programme, which will take a holistic approach to managing the ECB’s information and knowledge assets.

In your role as Trainee of Archives and Records Management Support (ARMS) in the Information Governance Policies Section, you will be part of a support team of six members of staff responsible for coordinating and performing information and access management tasks, as well as for preparing and communicating reporting and technical improvements, while working closely with the Information Management Specialists and key contact persons representing all of the ECB’s functions and operations.

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.

Your role

As a Trainee of ARMS, you will:

  • support the quantitative and qualitative monitoring and reporting of information management practices, as well as the implementation of the ECB’s retention policy for paper and digital records;
  • contribute to a wide range of operational records management and archival support tasks related to how information is created, processed, stored and preserved for future use, and in a highly specialised environment;
  • support the Division’s information management projects, including digital archiving and preservation, external collaboration and the opening of the ECB’s historical archives to the general public;
  • develop and/or test functional requirements of enterprise content management and digital preservation systems;
  • support and maintain the ECB’s information management policies, procedures and guidance;
  • develop and enhance guidance and training material to raise staff awareness and encourage adherence to the ECB’s information management policies and procedures.

This traineeship offers you an excellent opportunity to obtain experience in providing information services in an institutional environment and to gain insight into various topics related to the ECB’s activities. You will be part of a dynamic and multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

  • an awareness of and interest in the role and functioning of the ECB;

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.
