Salary at this grade

Basic monthly salary at AST4 runs from €5,438 (step 1) to €6,153 (top step), giving an annual range of roughly €65,256 to €73,836 before tax and allowances. Steps increase automatically every two years; the figures here are taken from the salary grid in the EU Staff Regulations.

Eligible staff posted away from their country of nationality also receive an expatriation allowance worth 16% of basic salary (around €870 per month at step 1 of AST4) together with household, dependent-child, and education allowances where applicable. Take-home pay is then adjusted by the country correction coefficient for Athens. For a worked example see our correction coefficients guide and the EU salaries overview.

Application timeline

This vacancy was first listed on 1 July 2026, 21 days ago.

The application deadline is 3 August 2026, 11 days from today. Late applications are not accepted, so submit through the official EU Careers portal well in advance.

Last verified against the EU Careers feed on 23 July 2026.

Where to learn more

For full responsibilities, requirements, and career progression at AST4 see our AST4 grade page; for headcount, mission, and other open vacancies at ENISA see the ENISA institution page; for the cost of living, correction coefficient, and other postings in Athens see our Athens location page.

Net pay at this grade

At step 1 of AST4, gross monthly basic salary on the Assistants grid is €5,438. Eligible expatriate staff add a 16% expatriation allowance on top (roughly €870 per month) before two automatic deductions reduce the taxable base: the joint sickness insurance scheme (JSIS, ~3.6%, €227) and the EU pension contribution (~10.3%, €650). EU community tax (Council Reg. 260/68) is then applied progressively; for the AD7-equivalent band the effective rate sits in the 11 to 13% range, which works out to about €652 per month here.
Athens carries a correction coefficient of 86.6% (Article 64 of the Staff Regulations), so the net is multiplied by 0.87 to reflect the local cost of living. On those assumptions take-home pay is approximately €4,139 per month, or about €49,668 per year, before household and dependent-child allowances, which can add several hundred euros monthly for staff with families. For the exact bracket-by-bracket computation see our net-pay methodology, and our correction coefficients guide for the full duty-station table.

Comparable recent roles

In the last twenty-four months ENISA (and the wider Commission and agencies family) has filled several adjacent roles at the same AST4 grade level. The most recent comparable vacancies, with their actual application windows:
  • Human Resources Coordinator at ENISA (published 2026-07-06, closed 2026-07-30)
  • ICT Security Team Leader at ENISA (published 2026-07-01, closed 2026-08-03)
  • HR Coordinator at ENISA (published 2026-06-30, closed 2026-07-30)
Pattern recognition matters here: recruiters at the same Directorate-General often re-advertise nearly identical profiles every six to nine months, so candidates who miss one window can typically position for the next one. Browse the live catalog: all AST4 openings, other vacancies at ENISA.

Career trajectory

Career progression for AST4 staff is governed by Articles 44 to 46 of the Staff Regulations (consolidated text on EUR-Lex) and Annex IB on the promotion procedure. Step increases are automatic every two years (Art. 44); grade promotion is competitive, based on the appraisal exercise (Art. 45) and the Career Development Review. For roles at ENISA, AST grades progress one level every three to five years on merit; AD reclassification via a CAST or internal competition is the longer-term route. Article 46 governs the classification at recruitment, which sets the starting step within the grade (usually step 1 for external recruits without prior EU service, step 2 or 3 where relevant professional experience is recognised).
Mobility within the institutions is encouraged via the inter-institutional and intra-institutional vacancy publication system: temporary agents who pass the probation period and reservists from EPSO laureate lists can typically apply to internal vacancies after one year of service. Lateral moves between Directorates-General reset the seniority clock for promotion only if the new post carries a different grade.

Language profile

Beyond the formal language requirements stated in the vacancy notice, the day-to-day working languages at this employer are English and French in roughly equal measure, with German appearing in some technical files. Internal meetings and most policy drafting in Brussels run in English; French remains the preferred internal language in Luxembourg-based services and parts of DG TRADE.

Application cadence

Across the past twenty-four months 3 comparable openings with the same grade and subject area signature have been advertised by ENISA or related EU bodies, 3 of them in the last twelve months alone. That cadence (roughly 1.5 per year) suggests a candidate who narrowly misses this competition can reasonably expect a similar profile to reopen within six to nine months.
