Advanced Clinical, a multinational clinical research services company with US headquarters, is expanding into Ireland, resulting in the creation of 20 new jobs in this country.
It just opened a new office in Dublin as part of its strategy to add 40 new jobs to Ireland over the following five years. It is anticipated that the new positions will be both office-based full-time positions and hybrid positions.
A biostatistician and a director of regulatory affairs are among the positions that are currently being advertised for Ireland.
The Dublin office will serve as the company’s international headquarters, according to Leo Sheridan, Advanced Clinical’s executive chair and founder.
“Dublin will allow us to support and provide value to our current international customers in both Europe and Asia as well as attract new ones in this high-potential market. The ability to attract talent is also really important to us as we increase our workforce and Dublin offers access to a large population of experienced, skilled resources,” Sheridan added.
One of the company’s leaders, Ciarán Troy, who serves as senior director, will now be based in Ireland. The Dublin team will support Advanced Clinical’s global expansion. Currently, the company employs more than 1,100 in 16 offices worldwide.
The Dublin office will also serve as a strategic hub for clinical research and strategic resourcing services. The company hopes that Ireland’s already vibrant pharmaceutical, biotech and medtech companies will complement its offering.
Advanced Clinical’s CEO and president, Julie Ross, described the business’ relocation to Dublin as exciting and noted that “demand for talent and services in the biopharmaceutical and medical devices sector is high.”
“By expanding our presence throughout Europe, we are well placed to assist life science companies in scaling efficiently and in effectively delivering the right resources at the right time. The diverse life science community in Ireland provides a great foundation for us to develop a real centre of excellence for Europe.”
