SAS To Create 150 New Jobs

Dublin firm SAS is to create 150 jobs over three years, equating to an investment of around €40 million.

The project has been supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.

The centre will support sales of data analytics software into markets across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Roles will include multi-lingual business development and sales specialists, customer engagement specialists, data scientists and software engineers. Employees will work with customers to demonstrate how analytics will add value in their business and support them as they deploy and implement these solutions.

The new centre will initially be located at NexusUCD, University College Dublin's industry partnership centre.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD said: "I have discussed investment opportunities with SAS executives at several occasions in recent years and I'm delighted to see this investment decision come to fruition. Through the Action Plan for Jobs, the Government will continue to support the technology sector by investing in the right education & research programmes to ensure Ireland’s ongoing success as a technology hub in Europe."
