Slalom to create 300 tech jobs in next 3 to 5 years

Global business and technology consulting company Slalom said it plans to create 300 new jobs in Ireland in the next three to five years.

Slalom’s Irish operation, its eight international market, was established a year ago, and expects to have 60 employees by the end of the year.

The company recently signed a lease on Waterways House in Dublin’s Digital Docklands.

The new roles will be in key growth areas including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Salesforce, Data Analytics, Business Advisory Services, and AI-enabled Change.

The new Dublin base will serve as a central hub for the firm’s operations in Ireland, facilitating collaboration and innovation with clients across Ireland and the UK.

It said its move to the Digital Docklands aligns with Slalom’s strategy to partner closely with other organisations leading technological advancement and business innovation.

“We are thrilled to announce the creation of 300 new roles in Ireland, adding to the 40 created in our first year, a testament to our commitment to invest in the talent and potential of this dynamic market,” said Jane Dawson-Howe, Country Managing Director of Slalom in Ireland.

“The demand from clients for the application of Gen AI to drive innovation in their operations has contributed to the rapid expansion of our Irish business over the past year and will fuel our future growth,” she added.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment Peter Burke said that Slalom’s decision to expand its operations in Ireland with the addition of 300 new jobs underlines the importance of Ireland as a stable and attractive location for international business.

“I am pleased to see a large technology consultancy company recognising the benefits of locating in Ireland and I wish Slalom every success in the future,” he added.

Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, said that today’s announcement by Slalom confirms Ireland as a great location to commence and scale your business with the country’s vibrant ecosystem and available talent pool.

“I want to congratulate Slalom and to assure them of IDA Ireland’s continued support as they expand their operations in Ireland in the years ahead,” he added.
