Human resources (HR) company Rippling is expecting to add 150 new jobs to its workforce over the coming year as it opened its expanded Dublin headquarters on Wednesday. This will mean its Irish workforce should expand to more than 300 employees.

The office is based at Cumberland Place on Fenian Street and will house teams across sales, finance, legal, compliance, implementation, customer support, marketing, and operations. The new roles will span these functions, with hiring expected over the coming year.

The opening was marked formally by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Minister for Employment Peter Burke, Wendy Harris, vice-president for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Rippling and representatives from the State’s Industrial Development Authority.

Rippling’s Dublin office will serve as the operational backbone for the company’s European business, providing support for customers across the EMEA.

The announcement comes as part of a broader growth trajectory for Rippling in Europe, with plans to further scale its EMEA teams beyond 2026 as demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) integrated workforce platform grows across the region.

“EMEA is a primary growth driver for us and Dublin is where we are building the team to win it,” said Harris.

“The demand is there, the talent in Ireland is exceptional, and I have never been more excited about what comes next.”

Rippling is a workforce management that brings HR, IT, Finance, and payroll together into a single intelligence system. The AI-complemented platform automates workflows, data insights and acts across the entire employee life cycle.

Burke called the expansion a “strong vote of confidence in Ireland’s talent base and our position as a leading hub for technology and innovation in Europe”.

IDA Ireland chief executive Michael Lohan said the investment underscores Rippling’s long-term commitment to Dublin and the depth of talent available here to support its continued growth across EMEA”.
