‘‘We value not only the technology knowledge and aptitude you’d expect but also broad business skills’ Xxxx’


Fidelity Investments, Dublin B


ACK in February, Fidelity Investments announced it would be creating 100 new technology jobs in Ireland focused on invest- ment management and corporate enterprise technology solutions


for its global operations. The company is making progress in hiring


and is “very pleased” with the response it has received so far, according to Julie Davenport, senior vice-president of Fidelity Investments and managing director for the Fidelity Tech- nology Group in Ireland. “We’re continuing to recruit for positions


in Galway and Dublin and will add new posi- tions over the course of 2011,” she says. “As far as the type of individual we look for


and the experience needed, we value not only the technology knowledge and aptitude you’d expect but also broad business skills – things like the ability to organise one’s workload, to analyse problems and to present ideas clearly. “The financial services landscape is becom-


ing more complex and more global, which means our employees have to adapt accord- ingly. We do everything we can to develop and support them. In addition, given Fidel- ity’s global expansion into various foreign markets, language skills will be of value and importance along with technology expertise.” The new people Fidelity is taking on will


support the company’s operations in the US, Europe and Asia and will work with a variety of divisions, including Asset Management, Corporate Technology, Information Secu- rity and Enterprise Infrastructure. They will oversee a diverse range of technology projects


that touch almost every aspect of Fidelity’s global businesses. “Our employees tell us that one of the


things they find most rewarding about work- ing at Fidelity is the fact that they are solving problems as part of a larger team. They feel they’re contributing to Fidelity’s overall busi- ness goals and are not valued simply for their technology expertise,” says Davenport. Ireland’s highly educated workforce is one


reason Fidelity is expanding here and Dav- enport says the company would encourage a continued emphasis on technology skills development in Ireland. “This is an expanding field and career


choice that presents opportunities for both technology professionals and companies in a variety of industries.” Fidelity Investments invests heavily in technology – about $2bn annually – and this provides a competitive advantage for the firm, Davenport notes. “Since underlying technologies change


constantly and the business problems being solved by technology are increasingly com- plex, Fidelity’s commitment to staying current and understanding how people use technol- ogy serves us well. “This includes everything from familiarity


with global markets and trading life cycles to the use of mobile and tablet technology. These are all key elements of our business and we’re able to be quite agile and to weave that knowledge into the technology development projects we undertake. It’s also what makes the field so interesting for our employees,” she affirms.
