The EBA launches the recruitment of its Executive Director
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has today launched an open selection procedure to recruit its new Executive Director.
Following the appointment of François‑Louis Michaud as Chair of the EBA, who took up his new role on 16 April, a new Executive Director needs to be recruited to complete the Authority’s leadership team.
Working directly with the EBA’s Chairperson, the Executive Director is in charge of the operational management of the Authority including the development and implementation of its work programme and prepares the meetings of its Management Board.
The EBA’s Executive Director will be selected on the basis of merit, skills and experience, in particular in the fields of financial supervision and regulation, through an open and transparent selection procedure. The successful candidate will be selected by the EBA Board of Supervisors and appointed following confirmation by the European Parliament.
The vacancy notice is available in all EU official languages on the EBA website, under the Careers section.
