Australian-founded specialist trading‑analytics consultancy firm ExeQution Analytics is establishing European delivery hub in Belfast in a move which is creating 23 jobs over the next two years.
The roles on offer include senior and junior analytic consultants and business operation officers, and many posts will involve hybrid working.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Sydney, the company provides advisory and implementation consultancy to financial organisations who want to understand their data and the markets they operate in better.
The company, which currently employs 20 full time employees in Sydney and London, says it chose Northern Ireland ahead of other potential investment locations including Dublin.
Its chief executive Cat Turley said: “Having seen the high level of analytical expertise in Northern Ireland first hand, I knew this was the ideal location for our expansion.
“Northern Ireland provides access to a highly skilled workforce with the expertise we need to serve our clients in financial hubs across the world.”
She added: “We are excited to establish a strong presence here and look forward to growing our team.”
Kieran Donoghue, chief executive at Invest NI, which has supported the investment, said: “ExeQution Analytics’ decision to establish a presence here highlights Northern Ireland’s standing as a premier destination for data analytics and professional services.
“The creation of 23 high-value jobs will provide excellent career opportunities for our local talent, whilst also strengthening our international reputation.
“The hybrid nature of these roles will ensure accessibility for professionals across Northern Ireland, helping to drive inclusive economic growth.”
He added: “Our team in Australia worked closely with the company to ensure Northern Ireland was the right fit for its business.
“We provided advice on setting up a business here, facilitated an inward visit to introduce them to the region and key stakeholders, and have offered support towards creating the new jobs.”
