Finance Jobs in Ireland: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You keep seeing the same senior titles on Irish finance boards and you can't tell who's actually hiring. Here's the real picture, and what to do about it before Friday.

The snapshot: 29 open finance listings in Ireland#

On 14 October 2026, Finance jobs in Ireland on JobRise showed 29 open listings, and 22 of those were posted in the last 30 days. Even better: 15 landed in just the last 7 days.

That's a fast-moving slice. Waiting ten days to apply is a bad plan because half the market refreshed in the past week and roles get pulled once filled. These are counts of open listings on JobRise's live feed, not a market survey. Treat them as a dated snapshot.

Who is hiring right now#

Ten companies account for the bulk of the listings. Some are employers, some are recruiters or staffing firms placing into client roles.

Stripe leads with 6 open listings, and one is "Senior Staff Product Manager, Risk", which sits at the intersection of finance, product, and risk. Mongodb has 3, including "Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis". Davy has 3, including "Alternative Investment Support Associate - 9-12 month FTC", a fixed-term contract in alternative investments.

Indra Group UK & Ireland has 3 listings, including "Senior Financial Accountant". Anthropic has 3 as well. Designer Group is hiring a "Global Mobility Tax Lead", a specialist tax role that travels with the business. Reddit has 1, and it is "Global Indirect Tax Manager". Fenergo has 1 open listing.

Smaller employers are hiring too. U Value Insulation needs an "Accounts Assistant". CEL - Critical Power is looking for a "Project Costing Commercial Lead", which is costing and commercial work inside a project environment. Don't skip the small names.

Where the jobs are#

Dublin holds 19 of the 29 listings. It's the clear centre of gravity for finance work in Ireland right now.

Cork has 2. The rest scatter across smaller locations: Ballycoolen (1), Dunshaughlin (1), Ballymount Great (1). If you're outside Dublin, the volume is thin, so widen your search radius or be open to hybrid commutes. That's the catch.

What the job-type mix says#

Full-time roles make up 28 of 29 listings. Contract roles account for 1.

Employers here are hiring permanent headcount, not filling short gaps, and that mix tells you they're building teams rather than patching holes. The one contract role at Davy is a 9 to 12 month fixed-term contract, which is common for parental leave or project cover in fund administration.

The employer mix is more revealing. Big tech is a major presence: Stripe, Mongodb, Anthropic, Reddit. Financial services is there through Davy. Consultancy and engineering come through Indra Group UK & Ireland and Designer Group. Specialist product firms like Fenergo sit in the middle. The public sector barely shows in this slice at all.

Startups and scale-ups are present but not dominant, and agencies or staffing firms appear among the names, so check whether you're talking to the end employer or a recruiter acting for them before you pitch. Read the listing twice.

The hard news on entry level and salary#

Zero of the 29 listings have an entry-level looking title. No intern, graduate, junior, or trainee roles in this slice. Everything is mid to senior.

If you're early career, this particular snapshot is not your market, and you'll need to look at other categories, other sites, or graduate programmes outside this feed to get a foothold. That's blunt. Better than 20 wasted applications.

No listing in this slice shows a salary. None. That's common in Irish finance postings at senior level, but it makes comparison harder, so ask for the range early and check current official sources like the Revenue Commissioners for tax and take-home figures.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct where you can. If the listing is on a company careers page, go there rather than through an aggregator. If it's a recruiter, treat the recruiter as the client and be precise about your availability and rate.

Mirror the listing's keywords. If the posting says "Financial Planning & Analysis", use that exact phrase in your CV rather than "FP&A" alone. If it says "Global Indirect Tax", don't bury it under "tax compliance".

Here's a worked example. Suppose your current bullet reads:

• Managed tax processes across multiple jurisdictions

Rewrite it to match how the role is described:

• Led global indirect tax compliance across 8 jurisdictions, owning VAT returns, reverse charge reviews, and audit support

Same experience. The second version uses the words the "Global Indirect Tax Manager" listing uses, and it shows scope.

Run your CV through a free ATS resume checker before you send it. Many finance roles go through an applicant tracking system first, and a CV that reads well to a human can still score badly on keyword matching. Check it.

A 7-step plan#

• Pick 5 target employers from the list above and open their careers pages today
• Tailor one master CV per employer type: big tech, financial services, engineering, product
• Mirror each listing's exact job title and key phrases in your summary and recent role bullets
• Rewrite 3 bullets per application using the structure: action, scope, result
• Run every CV through the free ATS resume checker before submitting
• Track applications in a simple sheet: company, role, date applied, contact, follow-up date
• Follow up 5 working days after applying with a short, specific note

Do this for two weeks and you'll have covered most of the 29 listings that fit your level.

How the wider market looks#

For context beyond finance, the JobRise Hiring Report: Ireland shows 434 open listings across all categories in Ireland, with 344 posted in the last 30 days. Finance is a small slice of that total.

Finance hiring is selective rather than broad, and when a Stripe or a Davy posts they want specific skills that match a real team gap, so generic CVs won't cut through. Be specific.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

The counts come from JobRise's live jobs feed on 14 October 2026. They are open listings at that moment and change daily as roles are filled or reposted.

Are these companies hiring across Ireland or only Dublin?

Most listings are in Dublin, 19 of 29. Cork has 2, with a handful in Ballycoolen, Dunshaughlin, and Ballymount Great. Check each listing for hybrid or remote terms before assuming you need to relocate.

Why are there no graduate or junior finance roles?

Zero of the 29 listings carry an entry-level title in this snapshot. The slice skews mid to senior. Early career candidates should look at graduate programmes and other categories outside this feed.

Should I apply through a recruiter or direct to the company?

Apply direct where the employer posts the role themselves. Where a recruiter or staffing firm is named, treat them as your contact and be clear about availability, notice period, and rate expectations.

Do any of these roles list salary?

No listing in this 14 October 2026 snapshot shows a salary. Ask for the range in the first conversation and verify tax and take-home figures with current official sources before accepting an offer.
