Healthcare technology platform Signify Healthcare is to create 125 jobs in Galway during the next two years as it opens a new technology centre in the city.
Founded in 2017, Signify Health employs more than 2,000 people in the US, and has a national mobile network of approximately 10,000 credentialed physicians and nurse practitioners.
"The team at our Galway technology centre will be designing solutions that solve some of US healthcare's most difficult and elusive problems," said Josh Builder, Chief Technology Officer of Signify Health.
"Our success will depend on being able to apply a diverse set of experiences to the challenges we face in enabling a patient-centric, cloud-based environment that brings healthcare wherever health happens," he said.
"We know first-hand that Ireland is home to professionals who not only have the experience we need, but who are energised by opportunities to make a meaningful difference in healthcare, and we are excited to now also call the West of Ireland home," he added.
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment Leo Varadkar said today's news is a real boost to Galway.
"This investment is a testament to all Galway has to offer and the company can expect to draw from a deep pool of talent and expertise when recruiting for these new jobs," he added.
IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan said today's announcement by Signify Health is a significant one for the country's growing InsureTech sector and is an endorsement of the high quality of talent available in Galway and the West Region.
