Deloitte doubles Cork workforce
Deloitte Ireland today announced that it plans to create 300 new jobs in Cork. The majority of these roles will be through the establishment of a Cork-based technology & analytics hub with the roles being delivered over the next three years.
This will double the number of Deloitte employees in Cork and was announced as the company celebrates 150th anniversary in the city.
Opportunities will be created for professionals across a range of areas including in digital transformation and sustainability.
Job opportunities will be in all facets of the Deloitte business including audit & assurance, tax & legal, consulting, financial advisory and risk advisory and the new roles will range from experienced senior hires to graduate roles.
Cork Chamber welcomed the announcement as a signal of the strength of the Cork region, its ever-expanding tech sector, its deep talent pool, and its thriving city.
Harry Goddard, CEO, Deloitte Ireland said: “We have seen strong client demand across our business nationally. A common thread in this growth has been the ever expanding need for digital, technology and analytics consulting experience. Not only are we recruiting to meet this demand, we also believe it is an opportune time to further our commitment to building our existing presence in Cork.”
He continued: “Our clients in the Munster region develop, manufacture, and sell their products and services throughout the world, and Deloitte’s investment here is a logical step for our business to support those clients in that journey. We now have 12 partners based in Cork, working locally, nationally and internationally.”
“Increasingly, our clients expect Deloitte to be in a position to advise, build and execute complex solutions for their organisations. I believe the ambition to double the number of employees we have based in Cork will be a fitting way to mark our 150th anniversary in the city.”
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Simon Coveney TD said the “news of 300 additional high-skilled jobs today is a real boost and vote of confidence in Cork our economy and Ireland’s future. These are quality jobs across all of Deloitte’s businesses, but particularly the establishment of the technology & analytics hub is a fantastic endorsement of Cork.”
