About OSD
OSD is housed in the Bank’s Operations Directorate that generates and executes the lending business of the Bank. The role of OSD is to ensure that operations are processed in accordance with Bank policies and procedures (so as to minimise operational risk) and to help front-line staff in their daily operational activities related to this. OSD advises the OPS Directors General in all aspects of its work. Important areas where OSD advises and supports OPS colleagues are AML/CFT and tax due diligence, prudential/credit policies and pricing, value added/additionality, environmental and social policies, sector policies etc.
OSD owns the OPS procedures and is responsible for the development and implementation of OPS’ internal control framework. OSD furthermore has financial and quantitative (modelling) expertise that supports the business in various ways, e.g. pricing, profitability and cost coverage, capital consumption, structured operations and the like. OSD also supports the operational systems of the Bank, and interfaces with IT to ensure proper operational systems are in place to conduct the business.
Last but not least, as a recognised international leader in climate, OSD has a Climate Office that represents OPS in the area of climate policy and is responsible for the operationalisation of the Bank’s new climate strategy in terms of the developing, guiding and piloting new green products.
OSD has close to 100 professionals that may combine their diverse expert backgrounds and skills with front-line business experience, often in a financial institution.
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.
