US professional services firm Highspring is creating 50 new jobs in its recently established Irish presence.
The new jobs, spanning engineering, operations, finance, consulting and technology, will be created over the course of the coming years, the company said in a statement today (27 August). Highspring did not provide a timeline.
The Tennessee-headquartered company said the fresh investment will support its managed services, consulting and talent solutions businesses and reinforce its ability to service its European clients. Ireland is expected to play a key role in supporting the company’s multinational client base, it said.
Highspring, formerly branded under Vaco Holdings, has a presence across more than 45 countries with more than 10,000 employees. Vaco continues as the talent solutions division of the business, providing services across accounting and finance, business and digital transformation, risk and compliance and IT.
Highspring officially launched its Dublin office last year as part of a major international push. The Irish launch was followed by an office is Lisbon this February.
“The new roles across engineering, operations, finance, consulting and technology will provide excellent opportunities for highly skilled professionals and further strengthen Ireland’s position as a hub for innovation, talent and business excellence,” said Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke TD.
Brian Waller, the CEO of Highspring said: “Our talented team in Ireland has become a critical part of how we deliver for clients around the world and has enabled Highspring’s accelerated growth. These new roles build on the success we’ve already experienced here and reinforce our commitment to Ireland as an important part of our global strategy.”
