UKG, a provider of HR, payroll, workforce management, and culture solutions and the largest US-based private software company in the world, is to open a global operations hub in Kilkenny. The company plans to hire approximately 200 staff with a focus on cyber security, customer success, research and development, and professional services.
UKG has operated in Kilkenny since the 2023 acquisition of multi-country payroll technology provider Immedis, which resulted in the launch of the UKG One View solution.
“We’re on a mission to give every organisation the opportunity to become a great place to work through technology built for all, and Kilkenny’s vibrant technology community will provide key talent to help us achieve this goal,” said Hugo Sarrazin, president, chief product and technology officer at UKG. “With more than 80,000 customers located around the world, our Irish team joins a robust security and network operations group that plays a vital role in safeguarding our solutions.”
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, said: “Creating high value job opportunities in regional locations like Kilkenny is one of IDA’s key strategic pillars. UKG’s plan to create 200 jobs in the region is a testament to the strength of our technology community within Ireland’s regions.”
As part of its growing presence in the county, UKG is a sponsor of the Cyber Ireland National Conference on 26 September at the Lyrath Estate Hotel, where chief security officer Mustapha Kebbeh will be a featured speaker.
UKG was named one of the World’s most innovative companies of 2024 by Fast Company, is ranked third in the world among large companies in Foundry’s Computerworld 2024 best places to work in IT, and was named 2024 global payroll supplier of the year by the Global Payroll Association.
UKG also maintains Innovation Hubs in Canada, India, and the US, where it hosts dual headquarters in Lowell, Massachusetts and Weston, Florida.
