Financial services firm IFDS to create 75 jobs in Dublin

International Financial Data Services (IFDS), a global provider of outsourced administration and technology solutions, is to create 75 jobs in Dublin.

The roles, covering financial technology, project management and administration, will be filled throughout 2015.

“We believe the Irish workforce is a hotbed of talent to help us innovate and continue to drive the growth of our business and the local economy.” Steve Parkinson, chief executive of retirement and insurance solutions at IFDS, said.

IDA Ireland chief executive Martin Shanahan said financial services continues to be a high growth sector in Ireland with companies opening new offices and expanding existing operations on a daily basis.

“(As) more and more of our financial transactions become automated — IDA Ireland is targeting the financial technology sector as an area with employment potential.”

IFDS currently employs more than 550 people in Ireland.
