Professional services and consulting firm Deloitte Ireland has announced 300 new jobs in Cork.
The openings will be in all areas of the business including audit and assurance, tax and legal, consulting, financial advisory and risk advisory.
The new roles will range from experienced senior hires to graduate roles.
The majority of the jobs are being created through the establishment of a Cork-based Technology and Analytics hub, with the roles being delivered over the next three years.
Other opportunities will be created for professionals across a range of skills including in digital transformation and sustainability.
"Our clients in the Munster region develop, manufacture and sell their products and services throughout the world and Deloitte's investment here is a logical step for our business to support those clients in that journey," Deloitte Ireland CEO Harry Goddard said.
"I believe the ambition to double the number of employees we have based in Cork will be a fitting way to mark our 150th anniversary in the city," he added.
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney welcomed the jobs announcement.
"The news of 300 additional high-skilled jobs today is a real boost and vote of confidence in Cork, our economy and Ireland’s future," Mr Coveney said.
"These are quality jobs across all of Deloitte’s businesses, but particularly the establishment of the Technology and Analytics hub is a fantastic endorsement of Cork," he added.
