Software Company To Create 85 New Jobs In Belfast
Up to 85 new software jobs are to be created in Belfast.
Teamwork.com, a Republic of Ireland-based Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, has revealed plans to establish a development and support hub in the city.
The company, which lists some of the world's most influential companies as clients including Disney, Spotify and Netflix, said the hub will help support a new product which will bring their total product suite to four.
Overall, Teamwork.com will be hiring 55 developers and 30 technical support staff over the next three years.
Invest NI has offered £680,000 of support towards the new jobs, which will generate over £3.2 million annually in wages.
Invest Northern Ireland Chief Executive Officer, Alastair Hamilton, said: "Teamwork.com has 22,000 customers around the world but with ambitions to grow this further by introducing new products to its portfolio. The new development centre will be key to helping the company achieve this growth.
"As well as software developers, a specific customer support team will be based in Belfast to provide technical and knowledge support to customers on both new and existing products.
"Our software development sector has gone from strength to strength. In the last 5 years 30 companies have chosen to set up dedicated software development centres here. I am pleased that Teamwork.com has chosen to join this growing number of businesses drawn here by the talent of our people."
Peter Coppinger, CEO of Teamwork.com, said: "Today marks an important milestone for Teamwork.com and we are hugely excited about scaling our team in Belfast.
"For a high-growth technology company such as ours, we have to prepare for the future and possible opportunities, especially with all the uncertainty around Brexit. Being in Northern Ireland will ensure we can tap into the great talent pool on offer and access the UK market in the future.
"We've started the recruitment process and we have a small team of eight people in place. We'll be hiring another 20 in the coming months and we're looking forward to building out the team here. This will be our largest location outside of Cork and we're excited to build momentum in our Belfast office. It has been great to work with Invest NI and see this plan come to fruition."
