Description
Software company Medallia is to create 100 new multilingual sales and support roles in Ireland as it opens a new mid-market sales and support hub for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. The jobs will be added over the next two years and will initially involve remote working.
Medallia's EVP for mid-market and corporate development, Rory Cameron said: "Ireland was a smart choice for us as it offers the largest concentration of multilingual sales and service talent to support our customers and our expansion plans."
"It’s great that the company has chosen Ireland as its base for the whole EMEA region," said Tánaiste & Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment Leo Varadkar. "These 100 jobs are not fixed to any location and anyone with multilingual skills, anywhere in the country, is eligible to apply."
