JBRC seeks experts for Reporting Contact Group
The Joint Bank Reporting Committee (JBRC) has launched a call for expressions of interest to fill new vacancies in its Reporting Contact Group (RCG). The RCG facilitates cooperation and exchange of views between authorities and stakeholders on bank regulatory reporting.
Shaping future bank reporting
The Joint Bank Reporting Committee (JBRC), a collaborative initiative between the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Banking Authority (EBA), is seeking to fill new vacancies within its Reporting Contact Group (RCG).
The RCG acts as a crucial conduit for cooperation and the exchange of views and best practices between authorities and stakeholders with expertise in bank regulatory reporting.
With a maximum of 22 members, the RCG's mandate is three years, expiring in late 2027 for the current composition.
Appointed members are expected to dedicate a minimum of one full day per week to the group's activities, contributing actively to various JBRC initiatives since its establishment in late 2024.
Candidates must possess sufficient expertise and experience in supervisory, resolution, and/or statistical reporting, or in relevant areas such as data modelling and standardisation.
This call aims to create a reserve list for future appointments, ensuring continuity and addressing evolving needs in regulatory reporting.
Rigorous selection for key roles
Candidates must possess relevant competence and at least five years of practical experience at a senior level in the banking industry, specifically in supervisory, resolution, or statistical reporting.
Expertise in data modelling, data dictionaries, data management, and reporting process generation is also highly valued.
Essential criteria include consistent availability to participate in meetings and a strong commitment to preparing the RCG's output and feedback.
A good command of both verbal and written English is mandatory.
The online application, requiring a CV and a declaration of no conflicts of interest or misconduct, has a strict deadline of April 28, 2026.
Balancing expertise and diversity
The JBRC's emphasis on proportionality and diversity in its selection process is commendable, aiming for a balanced representation of stakeholders.
However, balancing such broad criteria while ensuring deep expertise for a maximum of 22 members presents a significant challenge.
The success of this approach will hinge on the careful weighting of these factors to avoid diluting the group's technical strength.
