| About us |
| DG BUDG is responsible for managing the budget of the European Union and plays a central role in achieving the Commission’s political priorities. As domain leader on financial management, DG BUDG has a growing strategic role at the heart of the Commission. Working in DG BUDG is not just about figures, you actually get to see the bigger picture of what is happening across the whole Commission and how the budget contributes to achieving the EU objectives.

Within Directorate A (Expenditure), Unit BUDG A.1 is in charge of coordinating the preparation of the Commission's Draft Budget and of following up the Budgetary procedures and execution, including relations with the Budget Committees of the Council and European Parliament. The unit is also responsible for monitoring the implementation of the budget and reporting to the budgetary authority, coordination of preparation and adoption of amending budgets, transfers and carry-overs. As a result, the Unit offers a great opportunity not only to understand how the budget contributes to reaching the main EU’s political priorities and how it can reflect to rapid developments and unforeseen events but also to contribute to this process. We are a relatively small team (13) of dedicated and experienced colleagues who collaborate and get on really well together, work hard but have fun as well. |

Contribute to the transition to the next Multiannual Financial Framework. Support colleagues in the different workflow processes. |
| Qualifications, experience and skills |
| We are looking for a dynamic and motivated candidate with strong analytical skills and interest in handling figures/statistics and in database management and at the same time interested in the story behind the figures. Experience in using IT tools and very good data processing skills notably with Excel are required. Good drafting skills together with a good sense of numbers is of essence. A proven previous experience in the EU annual budgetary procedure and knowledge of the specific budgetary tools would be considered as a plus.

We look for a team player, with initiative and attention to detail, ready to accept responsibility, and is eager to learn and join a dynamic unit with a result-oriented attitude, open mind and very friendly atmosphere. The candidate should be able to draft clearly and concisely and express him/herself clearly in English. Knowledge of other EU languages would be an asset. |
