The estimated full-year cost to recruit one additional WTE Overseas Manager and one extra WTE Senior Market Adviser varies depending on their employment category and geographical location.
Overseas Managers based in Enterprise Ireland’s overseas offices are made up of two categories;
(i) employees on an Irish contract of employment assigned to an overseas location for a fixed term period on an expatriate basis and
(ii) employees hired on a local contract in the local market.
The Overseas Manager roles filled by expatriated employees are at Level E grade which is equivalent to the Civil Service Assistant Principal (AP) grade.
The current Level E scale effective 01 October 2023 is €75,822 - €93,121 rising to €95,983 and €98,850 by long service increments.
The remuneration model for expatriated employees comprises of a gross Irish salary, as set above, in addition to overseas allowances which are paid for the duration of the overseas assignment.
Overseas allowances are set to compensate expatriated employees for the difference in cost of living in their host location and for additional costs that arise from undertaking overseas assignments. Such allowances vary as they are dependent on the location of the assignment, whether the assignee is travelling accompanied or unaccompanied and family size.
In addition, Enterprise Ireland also employs a number of Overseas Managers and Senior Market Advisers on a local basis. These individuals are employed on local contracts and their salary scales are not aligned to Civil Service grades. Rates of pay are based on local market data and accordingly vary between locations.
Indicative costs for local Overseas Managers and Senior Market Advisers are provided in the following tables. Starting salary for one location in each of our five overseas regions are provided to give an indication of the salary costs for these posts, where we currently have an individual employed on a local basis. Salary costs in the tables below are listed in local currencies as individuals employed on local contracts are remunerated in this manner.
