Job Purpose

The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs: EBA, EIOPA, ESMA) are looking for establishing a reserve list to support their oversight's mandate under the DORA regulation for the position of: DORA JET Member.

What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (i.e Regulation 2023/2554, or “DORA”), applicable from January 2025, establishes a comprehensive framework for fostering the digital operational resilience of all EU financial entities. It foresees, among others, that ICT third-party service providers that provide ICT services to financial entities and are identified as critical for the EU financial system (critical third-party providers - CTPPs) are subject to oversight at the EU level to minimise the risks they expose the EU financial sector to.

The CTPPs oversight is carried out by the three European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) responsible for the EU financial sector, namely the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). The ESAs exercise their CTPP oversight mandate in cooperation with the financial sector supervisory authorities (competent authorities) and the authorities responsible for the NIS2 Directive.

DORA requires a close cooperation between the three ESAs which exercise jointly their CTPP oversight mandate. The oversight work is organised in Joint Examination Teams (JETs), across the three ESAs. Staff recruited by the three ESAs for the DORA oversight activities work as one team under the leadership of the DORA Joint Oversight Director and closely liaise with colleagues responsible for other activities at the three ESAs. The JETs cover the various designated CTPPs according to the predominant technology domain in which they operate (cloud services, data centres, telecommunications, etc.).

WHY JOIN AN ESA?

You will contribute directly to shaping and maintaining financial stability within the European Union, at the heart of the European System of Financial Supervision. Your work will have a significant impact on the compliance with DORA, ultimately safeguarding consumers and investors. You will have the opportunity to expand your network across Europe and beyond working for EIOPA, the EBA and ESMA.
