Data Consultant. Dublin. Irlanda

Auticon is an IT Consultancy and Social Enterprise whose mission is to address the inequalities in employment for neurodivergent adults. We aim to provide long-term career opportunities for autistic adults, who we employ as IT and Data Consultants. They then deliver high-quality services to our clients.  

We’re expanding our client network in Ireland and anticipate having opportunities for Data Consultants based within commuting distance of central Dublin to join our team.

As autism is the cornerstone of our social mission, we do ask applicants for these roles to provide evidence they’re in the process of obtaining an autism diagnosis, evidence they have a diagnosis, or alternative documentation to evidence autism.  

You’ll join our team of Consultants and be a permanent employee of auticon, but most of your day-to-day work will be with one of our clients. You’ll add skills and expertise to the client’s team or project. Most of our clients are large multinational organisations who require expertise in areas such as data analysis, data visualisation, data engineering, cyber security, machine learning or AI. You get the chance to work on interesting assignments with our clients, whilst still having all the support of being an auticon employee. When you’re between projects, your employment with us continues. This means you receive your salary and all the ongoing benefits of being an auticon employee such as our valuable coaching provision, whilst we support you to further develop your skills.
