- contribute to the development and implementation of innovative library services and projects, such as testing new AI tools or improving library processes and systems;
- raise awareness of available resources and services within the ECB.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to gain experience in providing information services in an institutional environment, gain insight into the activities of a central bank and help shape the future of information and knowledge management at the ECB.

- a good knowledge of the MS Office package, including Word, Excel, Power Point and Teams;
- an advanced (C1) command of English and an intermediate (B1) command of at least one other official language of the EU, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

- an ability to manage and contribute to library projects, ensuring timely and successful completion of tasks;
- an ability to troubleshoot in relation to library resources, user access and technology;
- an ability to manage data, catalogue materials and maintain records with precision and accuracy.
