Speech firm announces 40 new jobs

Voice and language solutions company Nuance Communications is to create 40 jobs in Dublin by opening its international headquarters in the city.

The positions will be in sales, finance, management and human resources.

The company provides its services internationally and has its worldwide headquarters in Boston.

Management at Nuance says Dublin was a natural choice thanks to a number of factors including the talented local workforce, the presence of many multinational technology companies already, and the assistance of the IDA.

Senior vice-president of Nuance EMEA Neil Weston said: “There are so many multinationals (in Ireland), running everything from finance to telesales. It’s unlikely we wouldn’t find what we need here.”
