Highspring has announced plans to create 50 new jobs in Dublin over the coming years, expanding its Managed Services, Consulting and Talent Solutions operations. It matters because the company frames the expansion explicitly around operational resilience, adding a European delivery hub specifically to reduce reliance on any single location for client-facing capacity.

Highspring is a Brentwood, Tennessee-headquartered global professional services organisation offering Consulting, Managed Services and Talent Solutions, formed from the 2025 rebrand of Vaco Holdings. It employs more than 10,000 people across 45-plus offices worldwide, serving more than 12,000 clients.

Highspring formally launched its Dublin office in 2025, followed by a Lisbon office in February 2026, positioning both as part of a wider international growth strategy rather than isolated market entries.

The new Dublin roles will span engineering, operations, finance, consulting and technology-related disciplines, giving the office a broader functional base than a single specialism would provide.

Highspring said the expansion delivers enhanced access to skilled talent, improved support for European clients through a local presence, and a stronger global delivery model that increases operational resilience and expands its multi-shore service capabilities.

Highspring chief executive Brian Waller said: "Our talented team in Ireland has become a critical part of how we deliver for clients around the world and has enabled Highspring's accelerated growth. These new roles build on the success we've already experienced here and reinforce our commitment to Ireland as an important part of our global strategy."

IDA Ireland executive director Dónal Travers said: "Highspring's decision to expand its operations in Ireland reflects the country's continued attractiveness as a location for globally focused professional services organisations. The planned creation of 50 new jobs reflects the depth of talent available in Ireland and the country's track record in supporting companies as they scale internationally."

For the sector, sequencing Dublin ahead of Lisbon within a single growth strategy suggests professional services firms are now building deliberate multi-shore networks across Europe, rather than defaulting to a single low-cost hub, to protect delivery continuity for multinational clients.
