The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is seeking a new member to represent the users of financial services in its Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group (SMSG).

This follows the resignation of one of the current members. The SMSG’s aim is to facilitate ESMA’s consultation on its work with relevant securities markets stakeholders from around the European Union (EU).

The SMSG is composed of 30 individuals who represent financial market participants, their employees’ representatives, and consumers, users of financial services and representatives of SMEs. The 30 representatives will include 10 from financial institutions and five academics. Members of the SMSG serve for a period of two and a half years.

The successful candidate will be selected by ESMA’s Board of Supervision. The deadline for applications is Friday 5 September 2014, 23:59 CET.
