American company HighRoads Inc. is establishing a product development Centre of Excellence in Belfast, and plans to recruit at least 20 professionals over the next three years.
The Massachusetts-headquartered firm has created a broad platform solution called P2 Advance. Ajay Bhandari is Senior Vice President of Engineering at HighRoads. He said P2 Advance “supports the entire continuum of healthcare plan creation and is an innovative solution that helps our clients produce customisable, flexible and scalable health plans that retain customers, drive new revenue streams and sustain profitable pricing.”
The firm hopes the new Belfast team will involve experts in engineering, product management, and engineering operations to support the creation and expansion of its health plan product data management solution.
The new centre will include focus on leveraging Salesforce for best-in-class sales enablement functionality.
Invest NI has offered the company £99,900 to secure the project for Northern Ireland and help create the jobs.
Derek Andrews, Invest NI’s Head of International Investment, said: “The jobs created will pay well above the Northern Ireland private sector median and will contribute £1.18 million in salaries annually to the economy. These jobs offer excellent opportunities to experienced and skilled software engineers with the ability to work in Java, JavaScript, AWS, and Salesforce.”
HighRoads is currently based at the Scottish Provident Building in Belfast, with 12 staff already in place.
