You will work closely with other translators and editors, language technologists and workflow administrators, as well as, where relevant, with others in our Directorate General as part of cross-divisional teams handling strategic communication projects or urgent tasks. You will also work with experts from other ECB business areas.

- proof-read texts written in Finnish;
- identify, extract and compile terminology in Finnish;
- contribute to other activities of the Finnish team, such as maintaining translation memories and providing linguistic and drafting advice as required.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to gain insight into the work of a language services division in an EU institution and to use state-of-the-art language technology tools. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
- a bachelor’s degree or higher in modern languages or translation;
- experience of translating English texts into Finnish, either as part of a degree course or in a professional context;
- a good knowledge of the MS Office package, including Word, Excel and Power Point;
- a native-speaker standard (C2) command of Finnish and an advanced (C1) command of English, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Desired:
- a master’s degree (completed or in the final stages of completion) in modern languages or translation;
- an intermediate (B1) command of another official EU language;
- familiarity with translation using computer-assisted translation tools such as Trados Studio and an interest in machine translation and language technology;
- a broad knowledge of European current affairs, with a particular interest in financial and economic matters.
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.
You are motivated to contribute to the ECB’s mission, to serve the citizens of the EU as a member of a public institution and to work with colleagues from all over Europe. You are keen to be part of our team and to use your skills and competencies to achieve the aims of this position.
