If you are looking to join an active, exciting and dynamic sector, then why not consider a career at one of these organisations.
From Accenture and Aerogen to Medtronic and MSD, there are a range of companies looking to employ skilled people in some of the most popular and rapidly evolving sectors of 2025. Is your next professional adventure listed below? Well you’ll have to read on to find out.
Cybersecurity
As global systems become more advanced and a higher degree of skill is required by organisations to stay afloat and protected, many companies are looking to add to their cybersecurity teams. US multinational professional services firm Accenture has several opportunities open to career goers, such as a security delivery team lead/consultant role available to mid-level professionals in Dublin, Ireland.
Multinational financial services firm Fidelity Investments has three positions for cyber professionals currently – two are Dublin-based penetration testing positions, with one of them being a senior role. Additionally, in Galway there is an opportunity for a business analyst to join the enterprise cybersecurity business unit.
Software development
While no job is ever going to be future-proof, software development careers are critical to developing the technology that the world needs to keep on spinning and currently there is significant demand for professionals skilled in this space. For early-career starters, card payment platform Mastercard is looking to recruit a platform engineering intern and a BizOps engineer intern to its software teams in the US.
For more established professionals looking for a career in software at Mastercard, its Dublin office is looking for a lead software engineer and a senior software engineer.
At technology company Yahoo, the Ireland team has an opening for a Paranoids enablement and platforms engineer.
Healthcare and regulation
Professionals qualified to work in the healthcare sector are in an ideal position as Ireland and a range of other countries work to further develop this critical space. At biotechnology company Amgen, the Dún Laoghaire team is in the process of recruiting a QC microbiology senior manager.
Across the pond in the US, medical devices and healthcare company Abbott Laboratories has vacancies for a clinical scientist II, director of biocompatibility and regulatory affairs specialist II.
For experts based in Dublin, US pharmaceutical company Viatris has an opening for a manager and an assistant manager for regulatory affairs, as well as a senior manager for regulatory CMC strategy.
Artificial intelligence
AI is a rapidly advancing field and while some are concerned that it has the potential to limit or erase jobs, it also has the power to create new and exciting opportunities.
For example, healthcare platform Optum is looking to broaden its Dublin-based teams. Current roles on offer for people with AI skills include a lead AI/ML engineer, senior AI/ML engineer and senior data scientist for AI and deep learning roles, among others. Similar job titles are also available in Letterkenny, Donegal.
For early-career professionals, the Ireland branch of pharma company MSD is looking for applicants to the 2026 Future Talent Programme, where you can grow your skills in environmental health and safety, through the leveraging of AI and digital technologies.
Globally, MSD also has AI roles for career starters and more established professionals in countries such as the Czech Republic, Romania, India and China.
Human resources
HR teams are crucial as they determine the next wave of professionals responsible for growing and scaling an organisation.
Integral Ad Science, which makes tech for media platforms, advertisers and publishers to help them track and optimise their data, is currently looking to grow its London HR team by hiring a learning and development specialist. The team based in India is looking for a HR business partner.
In Galway, medical device company Medtronic is looking for a talent acquisition specialist and in Abbott Laboratories there is a vacancy for a Donegal-based HR Generalist.
Sustainability
Much like AI and ML, the area of sustainability is growing exponentially. More and more organisations are implementing teams whose responsibility it is to ensure that company operations are ethical, sustainable and practical. Medtech Aerogen, which is based in Galway, is looking to employ a sustainability ESG lead.
Financial services firm Grant Thornton is looking for a sustainability consultant/manager in Dublin. Also in Dublin, Accenture is in the process of hiring for a transformation change consultant and in Bristol Myers Squibb’s, Cruiserath facility, there is an opening for an EHSS intern, who will oversee a number of tasks, primarily in environmental, health and safety.
