London-based consultancy firm Albany Beck is unveiling an EU operations centre in Dublin that will create 100 jobs over the next three years. The roles created will be in in the areas of software development, software engineering, cloud services, machine learning/AI/automation, with recruitment beginning immediately for software developers, full-stack software engineers, Python developers and KYC analysts. 

After expanding successfully into Ireland in 2018 and rapidly growing to a team of 87, the company has identified Dublin as the optimum location to invest in and to scale its EU business following Brexit. 

Digital transformation

This expansion will allow Albany Beck to seamlessly provide its cutting-edge services to its EU clients, from regulatory and compliance advice to digital transformation and systems implementation.

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar TD said: “I really welcome this announcement from Albany Beck. The decision to expand and base its EU operations centre in Ireland is a great vote of confidence in Dublin city and underscores the company’s continued commitment to our country. The 100 new jobs are a real boost. I wish the company all this best with this exciting new chapter.”

Adam Kelly, Albany Beck partner and head of EU operations centre said: “Over the last couple of years our success in Ireland has been exceptional. Dublin has been the ideal location for Albany Beck and our service offering.

Software development

"The depth of talent in Ireland, especially in software development and financial services has been the key to our growth. As a Dubliner, I take great pleasure in seeing the city continue to thrive, especially with Albany Beck being a part of it.”

Celia Johnson, Albany Beck associate partner, added: “Being a part of Albany Beck’s continued growth in my home country over the past 18 months, has been a journey of both pride and passion.

"Spending so much time in Ireland prior to COVID-19, I’ve watched us grow by developing new client relationships, helping them build their teams, hit regulatory commitments and deliver transformational programmes. This new centre will boost our capabilities and I can’t wait to see it in action.”

Since Albany Beck arrived in Ireland it has won several international projects for high profile European financial services clients and is looking to accelerate its growth across the EU from Ireland. 

The company is supported by the Irish government through IDA Ireland.
