Senior Economist - Market Operations Analysis in Frankfurt am Main bei The European Central Bank

You will be part of the Market Operations Analysis Division in the Directorate General Market Operations. Our Directorate General has around 200 staff members who prepare and execute monetary policy and foreign exchange operations, manage the ECB’s foreign reserves, as well as monitor and analyse market developments. The Division is responsible for monitoring, analysing, and assessing the performance of the Eurosystem’s monetary policy implementation framework and developments in the Eurosystem’s balance sheet. We also analyse structural developments of the euro area financial markets that are relevant for monetary policy implementation. In particular, we develop, maintain and assess the frameworks for counterparty, collateral, emergency liquidity assistance, net financial asset and domestic asset and liability management, as well as oversee the related inputs from the national central banks and assess the relevant requests and developments.

In your role as Senior Economist in the Market Operations Framework Section in the Market Operations Analysis Division, you will be part of a team of around 15 members of staff. This Section is primarily responsible for monitoring, analysing and assessing the performance of the Eurosystem’s monetary policy framework from an operational point of view. You will contribute to fulfilling the Section’s tasks, working closely alongside colleagues from the ECB as well as from the national central banks, while also interacting with market participants.

Since we work very closely with other divisions in our Directorate General on account of the cross-market nature of the frameworks, this role could also apply to similar vacant positions within the Directorate General Market 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 age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
