internal benchmark Graduate
Panel interviews are anticipated for mid-April 2026.
Purpose
As a Graduate in the Youth Engagement and Society Division, you will work alongside the Senior Officer in charge of Societal Resilience and Humanitarian activities, planning, developing, executing and monitoring a wide range of actions related to Climate Adaptation, Community Resilience, Humanitarian Donations and support to other smaller philanthropic and impact projects. Further, you will gain exposure to activities related to Financial Education and Youth engagement at large. The ultimate objective is to ensure that activities in these areas are effective and impactful, while being fully compliant and aligned with the EIBG Strategic priorities.
Operating Network
The Graduate reports to the Head of the Youth Engagement and Society Division and will work in close cooperation with the Senior Officer responsible for Societal Resilience and Humanitarian activities. The position sits at the heart of the Institute's youth, education, resilience and humanitarian portfolio, and requires a high degree of reliability, discretion and professional maturity.
The nature of the role demands strong organisation, flexibility, attention to detail and an ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, including representatives of NGOs, humanitarian organisations and institutional partners.
The post calls for enthusiasm, curiosity and a consistently hard‑working attitude, as many of the Division's activities are time‑sensitive, externally visible and linked to complex coordination processes.
The Graduate should possess excellent communication and organisational skills, a careful approach to detail, and the capacity to manage multiple tasks at once, including the creation, handling and organisation of data.
The successful candidate should be fully at ease with the standard EIB Group IT tools (Office, Teams) and open to exploring new ways in which these tools can improve workflows and support programme delivery.
The role involves regular interaction and collaboration with colleagues across the Institute and the wider Bank, requiring a collegial, respectful and proactive mindset at all times.
Certain periods of the year may require additional schedule flexibility, particularly during high‑visibility events, peak reporting moments or humanitarian‑related coordination cycles.
A readiness to take initiative, assume responsibility and maintain a steady, professional rhythm of work is essential to succeed in this position.
Accountabilities
Support the design, coordination and implementation of youth engagement, education, social impact and civil society–related activities of the Division, including work on grants, monitoring, reporting cycles and project follow‑up with partners.
Assist in the preparation of briefings, background notes, concept papers and communication material relating to the Division's programmes and external relations, ensuring clarity, accuracy and alignment with institutional standards.
Contribute to the organisation of outreach actions, events, calls for proposals, donation processes and stakeholder engagement, liaising with internal services and external partners in a professional and timely manner.
Undertake research, compile information and prepare summaries to support evidence‑based decision‑making across the Division's areas of work, including youth participation, education, inclusion, emergency support and philanthropic initiatives.
Provide operational support in managing the Division's interaction with partners within the organisation, in the EU and internationally, including preparation of agendas, minutes and follow‑up to meetings with external organisations and senior management.
Contribute to the organisation, and occasionally the delivery, of specific EIB Institute events such as Know Your Hazard conferences, youth‑related activities, EIB Institute sponsored events and internal staff events.
Initiate improvements and participate in the optimisation of working methods, maintaining a proactive and collaborative attitude.
As appropriate, contribute to the back-up of other division staff during their planned and unplanned absence to guarantee business continuity.
Demonstrate flexibility and cooperate proactively during peak periods to ensure smooth and efficient running of the activities of division and of the Institute.
Qualifications
University degree (minimum an equivalent to a Bachelor) preferably in public policy, political science, social sciences, management, sustainability or a closely related field relevant to the Division's activities.
Maximum 2 years of relevant professional experience (excluding internships of less than 9 months) after your most recent graduation.
Experience in fields related to social impact, humanitarian action or civil society support.
Experience in the organisation of events, including logistics, stakeholder coordination and on‑site support, is an advantage.
Experience in legal, procurement or compliance‑related tasks is an advantage, particularly in the context of grant-making and donation procedures.
Experience in the use of Copilot or similar AI‑supported tools, reflecting the Division's interest in improving workflows and analytical capacity.
Proficient use of Canva (or other graphic software) and audience surveying tools is an asset.
Excellent knowledge of English and/or French (***), with a good command of the other. (Knowledge of other EU languages would be an advantage).
