CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

(2022/C 87 A/01)

The post of Director of Information Technology (Grade AD 14 or AD 15) in the Directorate-General for Information of the Court of Justice of the European Union is vacant. This post will be filled under Article 29(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

I.   DUTIES

Under the authority of the Director-General of Information, the holder of this post is responsible for managing the Directorate for Information Technology (‘DIT’) and organises and coordinates its activities.

The DIT is responsible for all services relating to information technology at the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘the Court’), and plays a key role in the proper functioning and development of the Court’s information system. It contributes to the modernisation of the Court through the implementation of a modern and dynamic vision and strategy for the future of IT which the Director will be required to identify and articulate in line with the priorities established by the Court, taking into account the specific requirements of a judicial institution.

To that end, the activities of the DIT include: analysis, design, development, establishment and maintenance of IT tools; identification, establishment and management of IT infrastructure (network, fixed network and mobile telephony, data centre, helpdesk, computers, multifunctional copiers, etc.); user support and technical management and multimedia facilities in courtrooms.

In that context, the Director of the DIT advises the relevant departments and bodies of the Court and puts forward a short-, medium- and long-term IT strategy, as set out, inter alia, in the master plan, containing multi-year work plans drawn up in the light of the desired evolution of the information system and resulting priorities. The Director prepares proposals and reports in that connection and is also responsible for providing budgetary planning and for the implementation of work plans.

The Director manages a team of around 80 officials and members of staff across four administrative units and the services of external providers. The DIT’s annual budget for equipment and external services is approximately EUR 25 million.

The Director ensures that the IT systems comply with applicable legislation. In the Director’s capacity as authorising officer by sub-delegation for IT expenditure, the Director ensures that the financial regulations, notably in relation to public procurement, are complied with.

The Director represents the institution in external bodies and authorities and in particular vis-à-vis interinstitutional committees in the field of IT.
