No, EU citizens generally do not. The European Union's Your Europe portal states that as an EU national you generally do not need a work permit to work anywhere in the EU, and family members of EU citizens do not need one either. Non EU citizens do need permission to work. In Greece that process starts with your employer, whose request to employ you must be approved before you apply for a national visa for dependent employment.
