Software Company Global Shares Announces 80 New Jobs For Clonakilty Cork

Cork-based technology firm Global Shares has announced a major expansion plan which will create 80 new jobs over the next three years.

The Irish-owned, Clonakilty-based software company, currently employs 60 staff in high-skilled roles, including software development, QA, CEP analysts and project management and develops software for managing employee equity plans.

It clients include big international companies like Cargill, Morningstar, Living Social, Bwin.Party, UniCredit, Ambev and Sallie Mae.

The company said it expects revenues and export sales along with employment to more than double in Clonakilty within two to three years.

The new jobs require space, so the Clonakilty HQ will be expanded accordingly to accommodate both this jobs announcement and future ones down the line.
