20 May 2010: 100 new jobs for Dublin

Taoiseach Brian Cowen T.D, today announced that O2’s parent company, Telefónica is to establish a European People Services Centre in Dublin, creating 100 new high-skilled positions by the end of 2012.

The Telefónica Europe People Services centre will be a key part of the new Telefónica Europe HR structure being implemented in 2010. It will be located in O2’s headquarters in Dublin’s Docklands and represents an investment of €25 million over five years. IDA Ireland worked closely with Telefónica Europe and the team in Telefónica O2 Ireland to attract this investment to Ireland and is assisting with the set up of the new operation. This represents a significant step towards transforming Telefónica’s HR function, creating one pan-European team, delivering a distinct employee experience to everyone that works for Telefónica Europe.
