Shape the future of European supervision by translating digital trends into insights as an intern at DNB.
Work with impact
DNB’s work centers around financial stability and sustainable prosperity. As an intern, you can contribute directly to this mission. You help translate technological developments into insights that advance supervision across Europe, collaborate with colleagues from different countries, and bring structure to complex issues. In doing so, you help strengthen and secure the financial sector of tomorrow.
What you will do as an Intern in European Technological Supervision at DNB
As an intern, you will help identify and interpret technological developments within European banking supervision. That supervision is organized within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), the joint supervisory framework of the ECB and national supervisors.
You support the international team that develops and applies the SSM Trend Radar—an instrument that identifies and analyses technological trends and translates them into opportunities and risks for supervision and the financial sector. You will contribute to analyses, communication, and collaboration with European colleagues, helping ensure that insights truly land in the supervision of the future.
Your responsibilities
-
You support the analysis of emerging technologies and their impact on the financial sector and European supervision. This includes researching technologies such as AI, quantum technology, cloud computing, digital identity, and tokenization, and translating developments into supervision-relevant insights.
-
You contribute to the organization and preparation of European Tech Expert Missions, involving technology experts from across Europe.
-
You support the rollout, adoption, and application of the SSM Trend Radar within DNB and at other national central banks across the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).
-
You help translate analyses into clear updates, presentations, visual materials, and news articles for both DNB and European colleagues.
-
You contribute to the team's project-based way of working, including planning, structuring activities, and monitoring progress.
Where you will do that
You will be based at our Amsterdam office in the Supervision Horizontal Functions & Integrity division, within the Digital Agenda Supervision department. This department supports both DNB and European supervision in working and looking ahead digitally by developing digital tools and analysing technological trends.
You will join the SupTech Center, a small, young, and international team of around five colleagues from DNB, other European supervisors, and the ECB. The atmosphere is open, driven, and collaborative: you will work closely together, learn quickly, and have the space to visibly contribute to innovation in European supervision.
What you bring
You thrive in an environment where digitalization, supervision, and European cooperation come together. You work accurately, switch easily between tasks, and bring structure to complex information. You are curious, communicative, and not afraid to ask questions. Collaboration comes naturally to you, and you enjoy helping shape innovation in an international team.
We are also looking for:
-
You are pursuing a Master's degree (WO level) in a relevant field, such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Information Management, Public Administration (with a technical focus), or Innovation Studies.
-
You have a demonstrable interest in emerging technologies, such as AI, cloud computing, quantum technology, digital identity, cybersecurity, or tokenization.
-
You are interested in and have an affinity for digitalization and European cooperation in the field of supervision and regulation.
-
You have a good command of both Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
-
You are available for an internship of at least six months, starting from mid-September.
-
You are available to work 36 hours per week as part of the team.
