Microsoft Ireland announces creation of 200 new jobs

Microsoft Ireland has announced that it is further investing in Ireland through the expansion of its Dublin based EMEA Inside Sales organisation, with the creation of 200 new jobs. The news comes after the company announced in February that Dublin had been selected as the location for the new EMEA Inside Sales organisation, which enables highly trained sellers to leverage leading-edge technology platforms and analytics to better meet customer needs.

The announcement in February led to the immediate creation of 500 new jobs, 80 per cent of which have already been filled and with recruitment well advanced for the remaining positions. The 200 additional roles announced today reflect the rapid expansion of the organisation. Once this second phase of recruitment is complete, it will bring Microsoft’s overall employee numbers in Ireland to 2,000.

Microsoft is seeking applications for Technical and Solutions Sales Specialists, as well as those with language capabilities, to help create and deliver solutions that will empower a broad range of customers across the EMEA region to achieve more. The company is also recruiting individuals with leadership experience to help build the organisation and to support the growing teams of talented digital sellers.

Speaking at the announcement, An Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Frances Fitzgerald said: “I welcome the announcement that Microsoft is adding 200 new roles to the Inside Sales organisation, just six months after the investment was first announced. It demonstrates the opportunities that can be created for Ireland from our existing employers and investors, and illustrates that the talent is available in Ireland for these types of jobs and for employers.”
