Capella Announces 30 New Jobs in Irish Market

Hybrid working solutions provider to scale its team to support continued growth

Minister of Enterprise, Trade & Employment welcomes announcement

Capella, the Irish hybrid working solutions provider, today announced that it will create 30 new roles at the company over the next 18 months, more than doubling its existing team.

Founded in 2020 and supported by Enterprise Ireland, Capella was established to address the almost overnight transition to remote and hybrid working during the pandemic, to help business owners and employees navigate this new normal in a safe, structured, and informed environment.

Using the latest AI technology, Capella offers hybrid working software in organisations including hot desk booking, office heat mapping, work-from-home risk assessments, as well as workplace analytical tools to foster greater collaboration amongst teams in the office. The technology also offers crucial data and insights into how hybrid working is performing across the business, which can be used to inform leaders’ decision-making process in finding the hybrid working solution that will be most effective for their business.

The new roles will be in the areas of software development, architecture, IT, sales and customer account management, and recruitment will begin in the coming weeks. The news was warmly welcomed by the Minister of Enterprise Trade and Employment, who commended the Enterprise Ireland backed company on its exceptional success in a such a short time frame.

Minister Coveney said, “Capella is an innovative and exciting Irish technology company that is creating high value jobs, driving IP development, and increasing software exports from Ireland. This significant achievement is a testament to the innovation and dedication of the team. Companies like Capella are vital components of a robust economy, something that the Government is committed to supporting and we intend to continue to drive Ireland’s development as a resilient, innovative, and globally connected economy, capable of coping with technological and other transformational changes ahead. I would like to congratulate Criona, Victoria and the team at Capella on their achievements to date and wish them every success as their business continues to grow.”

Críona Turley, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Capella said, “We are delighted to be creating this suite of new appointments over the coming 18 months as we continue to scale for growth. It’s clear that many organisations are struggling to find the hybrid working policy that will work for their business and that’s where we come in. Our technology not only provides the software needed to manage hybrid working on a day-to-day level but also offers the insights and data to allow senior leaders make informed, justifiable decisions on longer term hybrid working policies. For us at Capella, this announcement marks an exciting new stage in our journey, and we look forward to welcoming some great new talent to our existing team.”

Leo Clancy, CEO, Enterprise Ireland said: “Innovation is crucial for Irish start-ups to grow and build scale both here and on an international level. Capella’s success centres on their ability and appetite to continuously innovate their product offering which will help them to scale and realise their global ambition. At Enterprise Ireland, we are committed to helping high potential start-up companies like Capella to innovate and compete and we look forward to continuing our work with Criona and the team on their growth trajectory.”
