Software Firm Brings 100 Jobs To Belfast
An America software firm has announced an operational expansion to Belfast that will create 100 jobs.
Dynamic Signal, a leading Employee Communication and Engagement Platform, offers technology that enables companies to engage with staff on any device or channel with relevant targeted news, information and updates.
The Silicon-Valley based firm will establish a new technology centre in Belfast to focus on software development work and customer success roles, with up to 100 staff to be recruited over the next four years.
The new roles are set to contribute over £3.4 million in salaries to the local economy. Invest NI offered Dynamic Signal £650,000 towards the development. CEO Alastair Hamilton met with the company's co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Steve Heyman to welcome the firm to Northern Ireland.
Mr Hamilton said: "Managing employee communications across dispersed teams can be a challenge for large organisations. Dynamic Signal has taken an innovative social media approach to enable large businesses to effectively connect with employees and to allow them to effectively communicate with their peers.
"The company has identified growth potential and this new technology centre in Belfast will provide the team needed to develop new products and services, while also targeting developing markets in Europe and the UK.
"With a mix of software engineering and customer service roles, and an average salary in the mid-£30k range, this investment is another welcome addition to our growing ICT sector."
Steve Heyman added: "Dynamic Signal's platform serves companies with upwards of 500 employees, and in particular, those with a high number of deskless or dispersed employees see the greatest benefit from our innovative solution. Our software allows company communication, HR, and marketing teams to segment staff and tailor different messages to different user groups, which we see as a real strength of our offering.
"This new centre in Northern Ireland will play an important role as we expand our products and services, and look to grow our global customer base. Invest NI provided invaluable insights into the region, its talent and the academic centres of excellence. We believe the skills available in the IT sector here, particularly in software development, and the quality of students graduating from third level education, makes this the right location for this new centre."
Samantha Kirk, VP of Engineering and Site Lead in Belfast, added: "Dynamic Signal is committed to improving the employee experience at the world's largest organisations by offering the most robust, intuitive, and sophisticated Employee Communication and Engagement Platform. Hiring candidates from the outstanding talent pool that we have here in Belfast will allow us to meet our ambitious growth plans. This new technology centre brings exciting opportunities to work with cutting edge technology, an inspiring team and the future in Employee Communication and Engagement."
Dynamic Signal is currently based at River House in Belfast, with seven staff already in place.
