Udemy to Expand Dublin EMEA HQ, 120 new jobs

“We’ve built an incredible team and culture at Udemy in Dublin, and I’m proud that we’ve been recognised as one of Ireland’s Best Workplaces,” said Bill O’Shea, Udemy Vice President, EMEA.

“I look forward to welcoming more Udemates to our Dublin office, where they’ll not only contribute to Udemy’s growth but also the success of our learners, instructors, and enterprise customers.”
