Avanade Ireland to create 200 new tech jobs to facilitate growth

Avanade has been in Ireland for four years, during which time it has grown fast. It appointed a new country manager, Adam Kelly, last year.

Seattle-headquartered IT services and consulting company Avanade is planning a hiring spree in Ireland as it experiences a major uptick in demand for its services.

Avanade provides digital, cloud and advisory services to clients across the Microsoft ecosystem. The company is a subsidiary of professional services giant Accenture.

Over the past 18 months, Avanade has doubled its Irish workforce to more than 150, and plans to double again in the next year and a half, creating up to 200 new jobs.

Roles on offer include solutions architect, Microsoft 365 consultant and a variety of software development jobs.

Founded in 2000 by Accenture and Microsoft, Avanade has had a presence in Ireland for four years. Its Ireland division has been seeing a surge in demand for its digital expertise, with many clients looking to invest in digital transformation projects.

The company works with clients who want to invest in tech that will enable them to better serve their customers and employees. It aims to help businesses become more cost and price competitive by harnessing the potential of tech, data and AI.

Adam Kelly, Avanade’s country manager for Ireland, attributed the company’s growth here so far to the talent of its workers and its close partnership with Microsoft. Kelly’s appointment to the role was announced last November.

“As businesses in Ireland start to scrutinise their expenditures even more closely, turning attention internally becomes ever more important. Facilitating slicker modern work practices and scrutinising the efficiency and effectiveness of your existing data and infrastructure should remain a top priority for business. We’ve set out ambitious growth plans already, but the potential is easily even greater,” Kelly added.

Microsoft Ireland general manager Anne Sheehan said that partners like Avanade were “essential to how Microsoft builds and delivers” its services to customers.

“Our partnership with Avanade has gone from strength to strength,” she added. Along with its parent, Accenture, Avanade has been recognised as Microsoft’s Global SI Partner of the Year more than any other company.
