Engineering software company MathWorks has 20 jobs on offer coming up to Christmas and intends to add 65 more jobs to its tally next year.

The Galway office provides centralised sales and services support to the company’s operations throughout the EMEA and the company wants candidates offering IT experience and fluency in several European languages.

The company’s staff in Galway provide customer services in eleven European languages. The new jobs are being part-funded by taxpayers through grant aid from IDA Ireland.

MathWorks had an initial focus on sales and support job functions to support the EMEA region, but today it embraces customer-facing roles including sales and services support, inside sales, channel development and support, marketing, and finance and administration.

Most recently, the office expanded to include a team of ‘Customer Success Specialists’ who focus entirely on helping customers realise the return on their investment in its software products MATLAB and Simulink.
