Paypal to create 150 new Dublin jobs
Online payments provider Paypal today announced 150 new jobs at its European operations and customer service headquarters in Blanchardstown, Dublin.
The company is looking for full-time and part-time positions in customer service and merchant services for individuals fluent in English and a second European language.
"The new roles will support PayPal’s fast growing European business, which achieved $1bn (€737m) in revenues for the first time in 2010," it said in a statement.
The company already employs more than 1,200 people already work at its European Centre of Excellence in Blanchardstown, providing operational and customer support to consumers and businesses across Europe.
"PayPal’s continuing success story means that we need to expand our excellent team in Dublin for the fourth time in the last two years," said Louise Phelan, senior director for global customer services & EU merchant services.
"The creation of a further 150 jobs, in addition to the more than 200 jobs it has announced in the previous two years, is great news both locally and nationally and underlines Ireland’s continuing ability to attract high-calibre Foreign Direct Investment," said IDA Chief Executive Barry O'Leary.
