UKG has announced the establishment of its newest Global Operations Hub in Kilkenny.

In partnership with the Irish government through IDA Ireland, UKG plans to hire approximately 200 new roles in the country, with a focus on cybersecurity, but also including customer success, research and development, and professional services.

'Talent And Skills'

"Today’s announcement is also a testament to the considerable talent and skills we have available in Ireland," said An Taoiseach Simon Harris.

"I look forward to seeing the benefits UKG’s investment will bring to Kilkenny and the wider South East Region in the years ahead."

Kilkenny Base

UKG has operated in Kilkenny since the 2023 acquisition of multi-country payroll technology provider Immedis, which resulted in the launch of the UKG One View solution.

As part of its growing presence in the region, UKG is a top sponsor of the Cyber Ireland National Conference, taking place September 26 in Kilkenny.

'Vibrant Technology Community'

"We’re on a mission to give every organisation the opportunity to become a great place to work through technology built for all, and Kilkenny’s vibrant technology community will provide key talent to help us achieve this goal," said Hugo Sarrazin, president, chief product and technology officer at UKG.

"With more than 80,000 customers located around the world, our Irish team joins a robust security and network operations group that plays a vital role in safeguarding our solutions."
