The UAE-founded spend management platform will create opportunities for professionals over the course of the next three years.

Dubai-based fintech Qashio has announced plans to create 50 new jobs between now and 2029 for professionals in sales, marketing, product, software engineering and operations. The recruitment is part of Qashio’s previously announced expansion that saw its Dublin location unveiled as the organisation’s European headquarters. 

Founded in 2021 by Lydia Foott and Armin Moradi, Qashio has established five global offices over the course of the last 12 months. The Dublin operation will support customers across Europe and strengthen the company’s capacity to deliver spend management and financial technology solutions for businesses operating across borders.

Additionally, as part of the expansion, Qashio is also developing Qashio Labs in Dublin, which will be an R&D-focused function supporting ongoing platform and product innovation.

Leading the expansion is Qashio’s general manager for Europe Kevin Gallagher, who joined Qashio in early 2026 to manage the European HQ.

“Our expansion into Ireland marks a pivotal moment for Qashio,” he said. “We chose Ireland for its exceptional tech talent and world-class ecosystem, allowing us to build a local presence rooted in security and long-term trust. 

“With the economic landscape remaining unpredictable, businesses in Ireland need reliable tools for resilience and financial control. We are embedding ourselves here to provide the on-the-ground support and value that the market currently lacks.”

Michael Lohan, the CEO of IDA Ireland, added: “I warmly welcome Qashio’s decision to establish its European headquarters in Dublin. This investment is a strong endorsement of Ireland’s attractiveness as a location for innovative, high-growth financial technology companies looking to scale internationally. The creation of 50 jobs will add to our vibrant fintech ecosystem, and I wish the Qashio team every success with this expansion.”
