US tech giant Thoughtworks is creating scores of new jobs after expanding into new city centre offices.
The global consultancy, which first launched a North East base a year ago, helps clients innovate by combining strategy, data, design and software engineering. It employs more than 9,000 people across 17 countries, including bases in London and Manchester. The Chicago-headquartered group said it would create an initial 100 skilled jobs on opening Newcastle, but is now set to create a further 80 roles on the back of expansion into a new base big enough to accommodate growing employee numbers.
Roles at the new office – at Lloyd’s Court on Grey Street – range from senior to junior positions, including places on the company’s entry-level program, Thoughtworks University, a year-long program that trains new recruits in technical and consulting skills. Thoughtworks also has a recruitment scheme aimed at people from all backgrounds.
