The Operations Directorate (OPS)
The European Investment Bank’s Operations Directorate (OPS) is responsible for the origination, structuring and financing projects in the European Union, in line with priorities defined by EU Member States (the Bank’s shareholders). These are laid down in an annual Operational Plan that details the EIB’s public policy goals (infrastructure, the environment, small businesses, innovation, plus two transversal goals: climate action and cohesion). The EIB takes diversity seriously, both in its internal organisation and in its financing operations. An EIB Group Gender Action Plan provides a roadmap to the implementation of the EIB Group Strategy on Gender Equality and Women’s Economic Empowerment.
We are the only bank owned by and representing the interests of the European Union Member States. We work closely with other EU institutions to implement EU policy. Our expertise is based on more than 60 years’ experience and the specialised knowledge of over 3,400 staff.
We support projects that make a significant contribution to growth and employment in Europe. As part of our counter-cyclical approach, our activities focus on four priority areas: innovation and skills, access to finance for smaller businesses, environment and climate, infrastructure.
We raise the bulk of our lending resources on the international capital markets through bond issues. Our excellent rating allows us to borrow at advantageous rates. We thus are able to offer good terms to our clients.
For many of us the greatest reward is to know that our contribution makes a positive impact on people’s lives, in the EU and beyond. By joining the EIB you will have the opportunity to make your contribution, whilst also developing your skillset and facing new professional challenges.
Based in Luxembourg, with a network of local and regional offices in Europe and across the world, we offer a pleasant and interesting work environment where people can achieve their professional goals, while maintaining work-life balance; with excellent professional development opportunities through training, internal mobility and merit-based career growth.
As the bank of the European Union, we are committed to the EU’s objectives and values, and aspire to live up to one of its founding principles – United in diversity.
Diversity and Inclusion encompass everything that makes us who we are.
We believe that encouraging colleagues to be comfortable bringing their identities to work is essential to the success and development of the Bank, and reflects Europe itself.
Our diverse backgrounds, perspectives and passions help us shape the inclusive environment in which we work every day.
