AESIA convenes by free appointment the Deputy Director General of Certification, Trends Evaluation, Coordination and AI Training. This is one of the most relevant management positions in the regulatory body for artificial intelligence in Spain, with direct responsibility for compliance with the European AI Regulation. The resolution was published in the BOE on September 21, 2026 and exhausts the administrative remedy.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes, through the free appointment system, the position of Deputy Director General of Certification, Trends Evaluation, Coordination and AI Training within AESIA. This system allows the administration to select discretionally among candidates who meet the minimum requirements, without the need for a merit competition.
The main functions of the position are:
- Supervise compliance with the European AI Regulation at the national level.
- Develop standards for assessing the impact of artificial intelligence systems.
- Combat disinformation generated by AI.
- Participate in international bodies related to AI regulation.
- Coordinate training on artificial intelligence within the agency.
The requirements to be eligible for the position are:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Body / subgroup | Career civil servant from subgroup A1 |
| Minimum experience | 5 years as A1 civil servant |
| Language | Certified C1 English level |
| Specific experience | Leadership in the field of artificial intelligence |
The application must be submitted through the Funciona Portal (SIGP) using an electronic certificate. The deadline is 10 calendar days counted from publication in the BOE (September 21, 2026), which places the closing approximately on October 1, 2026.
Economic and operational impact
The position convened has level 30, which is the maximum level on the scale of positions in the General State Administration. In addition, there is a specific allowance of €52,105.76, a figure that reflects the high specialization and responsibility required.
For potential candidates, this position represents a significant jump in compensation and responsibility. For AESIA, filling this position is strategic: the deputy directorate is the operational axis of certification and evaluation of AI systems in Spain, in a context where the European AI Regulation is already in progressive application.
From an organizational perspective, the position involves presence in A Coruña (AESIA headquarters) and active participation in international forums, which requires availability for travel and coordination with European institutions.
Who does it affect?
- Career civil servants from subgroup A1 with a minimum of 5 years of seniority who wish to apply for the position.
- Public service professionals with proven experience in leadership in artificial intelligence.
- Civil servants with certified C1 English level and technical-management profile in technology or digital regulation.
- Organizations and entities supervised by AESIA: filling this position directly affects the agency's capacity to exercise its AI certification and impact assessment functions.
- Companies and entities that develop or deploy AI systems in Spain: indirectly, the strength of this deputy directorate determines the intensity and quality of the supervision they will receive.
Practical example
A civil servant from the Senior Corps of State Civil Administrators (subgroup A1) with 8 years of experience, C1 English level certified by the Official School of Languages and previous experience in technology regulation projects in a ministry meets all formal requirements to submit an application.
This candidate should access the Funciona Portal (SIGP) with their electronic certificate, complete the application and submit it before the 10 calendar day deadline expires from September 21, 2026. If the resolution were unfavorable, they could appeal for reconsideration before AESIA itself or file an administrative contentious appeal before the TSJ of Galicia.
In terms of compensation, accessing this position means reaching level 30 (maximum on the scale) plus a specific allowance of €52,105.76, which represents complementary compensation well above the average for deputy director positions in the AGE.
