Verizon centre of excellence to create hundreds of jobs over two years
Verizon has announced the establishment of a global centre of excellence in Limerick. The initiative will create hundreds of jobs over the next two years.
Currently employing 1,000 people in Dublin, Verizon has launched a staffing programme to recruit and retain top talent in the industry. Developers Kirkland Investments anticipate the site will be ready to welcome Verizon in the first quarter next year.
Craig Silliman, president, Verizon Global Services, said: “This centre of excellence will bring together key functions in a creative, collaborative environment that leverages global talent and maximises our shared services model to best deliver for our businesses globally.
“As we continue to leverage our global footprint to best serve our customers, grouping these functions in a world-class centre will improve effectiveness and efficiency to deliver best-in-class results for our customers, employees, and partners.”
Michael Lohan, chief executive officer, IDA Ireland, said: “Verizon’s decision to expand its presence here demonstrates its confidence in Ireland. The selection of Limerick City for this centre of excellence and the creation of roles across multiple strategic global functions, including, strategy & transformation, finops and network engineering & cyber will position the midwest and Ireland well for future investment in the sector.”
