This group typically includes positions such as Directors-General, Deputy Directors-General, Directors, and Heads of Unit, who collectively make strategic decisions, set policies, and oversee the implementation of the EU’s objectives and legislative agenda.
Senior managers are tasked with leading their respective departments or directorates, managing substantial human and financial resources, and ensuring that their areas of responsibility contribute effectively to the EU’s priorities and the functioning of its policies.
