You will be part of the Information Governance Division in the Directorate General Secretariat. Our Division comprises 49 members of staff shaping, governing and enhancing the ECB’s information and knowledge management framework. We manage platforms for collaboration and content management, advise business areas on records and knowledge life cycle practices, and promote data and knowledge quality, discoverability and reuse.

We are currently advancing our knowledge ecosystem to meet evolving business needs and technological developments. This includes enhancing DARWIN (the ECB’s Enterprise Information Management system based on OpenText Content Management) improving metadata and governance models and integrating digital and AI-enabled capabilities.

In your role as Information Management Specialist, you will be part of the Knowledge Solutions team, comprising 14 members of staff, responsible for analysing business and knowledge management requirements and translating them into scalable digital solutions. The team configures and continuously improves enterprise information and knowledge management services and drives innovation in areas such as process automation, metadata design, governance by design and AI-enabled knowledge discovery.

You will work closely with end users, knowledge management partners, IT specialists, external providers and solution architects, acting as the link between business objectives and technical implementation.

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.

Your role

As an Information Management Specialist you will:

  • design, configure and improve workflows and automation solutions for services such as DARWIN (OpenText Content Management), ECB Wiki (Confluence) and their integrations with services like M365, SAP, DocuSign and in-house applications;
  • analyse, re-engineer and optimise knowledge and information processes with business stakeholders, leveraging workflow automation, metadata models and integration tools to enhance efficiency and compliance;
  • support the design and rollout of AI-enabled capabilities (e.g. semantic search, content enrichment, intelligent automation and AI-assisted knowledge services) aligned with the DARWIN roadmap and the ECB’s digital strategy;
  • support the functional and operational management of key systems, like DARWIN, including business continuity arrangements;
  • assist with application management, such as maintaining and enhancing test frameworks, developing test automation, supporting application-to-application integration frameworks and ensuring solution quality throughout the life cycle;
  • contribute to Business Implementation Groups to shape knowledge, collaboration and AI-enabled services;
  • monitor emerging technologies, including AI and low-code tools, develop prototypes and enhance knowledge management services;
  • support the DARWIN service manager and coordinate with a range of internal stakeholders, including senior management, on service delivery, such as service level agreements and operational performance monitoring.

This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to transforming the ECB’s knowledge landscape and develop expertise in enterprise information management, digital governance, process automation and emerging AI technologies. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
