Trinseo in Dublin
Trinseo’s Dublin office, located at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, will become home to a cross-functional mix of new staff members over the coming months.
Leading the Dublin team is managing director of Global Business Services (GBS), Ildiko By, an esteemed global business transformation leader who brings 20 years of international experience in global accounting and operations, financial, planning & analysis (FP&A) and project management
“My role here is very diverse. As a skilled strategic leader, I’m responsible for the strategic direction of the GBS and in developing a high-performance organisation focused on delivery of quality services.
“I have overall responsibility for management of site operations, facilities and administration and I also oversee the fiscal activities of the GBS. I’m a qualified chartered accountant and I come from a finance and accounting background so I have strong business acumen which supports my focus on strategic management.”
Making an impact
“I’m focusing on building and maintaining strong relationships and creating partnerships with the wider business community here in Dublin. The talent within the city is something to celebrate and I’m focused this year on partnering with the local universities to develop opportunities for graduates to grow with us. My ambition is to help cultivate this talent pool, with Trinseo playing its part in upskilling the local industry. I’m also keen to integrate the company with local communities to ensure we’re doing all we can to give back and have a strong social impact. Not only is Trinseo here in Dublin, but we’re here for good.”
Trinseo anseo!
Trinseo is currently recruiting for 130 positions across many facets of IT, finance, procurement and cash collections and has launched a major advertising and PR campaign to attract and recruit the right candidates. Commuters and city slickers won’t have failed to notice Trinseo’s bold and bright greeting across billboards, bus shelters and within Heuston Station recently offering passers by a friendly greeting – “Trinseo Anseo!”.
“We’re excited by the talent in Dublin and surrounding areas and we’re looking forward to putting together a diverse team to lead our Global Business Services division. We wanted to announce our arrival in Ireland and connect with local candidates by, quite literally, speaking their language, and so we launched the ‘Trinseo Anseo!’ campaign in late October,” says Ildiko.
“We’re proud that when people join us, they stay. We’re focused on building on this momentum to cement Trinseo as a remarkable place to work and enjoy a long and rewarding career with a global company at the fore of its industry.”
Joining the Trinseo Dublin team in September 2021, Nathan Duffy is an IT operational field engineer. “As a new name in Dublin, I was attracted to joining Trinseo because of its energy. As a dynamic local company with a global reach, it’s exciting to work with an international brand. One of Trinseo’s best traits is its diversity. We have more than 17 nationalities already represented in our Dublin office – that’s a lot of global experience and perspective which really sets us apart in terms of our thinking. We’re a company known for great innovation and I believe that’s down to the strength and talent of our team.”
The new roles come with attractive salaries and an industry-leading benefits package including annual leave and wellness days, dedicated training and development allowance, hybrid working, paid volunteering days and a site philanthropic donation to a local charity of its choice. The company’s award-winning PowerUp! programme supports staff on a path to success from their very first day.

The team here at Trinseo are fantastic – not only is everyone at the top of their game, but the open and inclusive culture Trinseo has cultivated here really gives everyone the chance to share their voice and learn from each other. We’re constantly encouraged to put forward ideas which really gives staff a sense of belonging and purpose. It’s great to know that Trinseo is invested in its staff and committed to providing those opportunities for learning and progression.”
Looking to its new hires, Ildiko says: “We’re looking for solutions-focused people – problem solvers with a can-do attitude. Really, we’re looking for the right fit, people that share in our vision for the future, culture and values.”
A great place for a lifelong career
As well as offering an industry-leading salary and a comprehensive benefits package, Trinseo prides itself on being a great place to work.

We are focused on nurturing innovation and continual improvement, so we have an open and relaxed management culture to facilitate this,” says Ildiko.
“We’re lucky to be able to enjoy the benefits of a global parent company whilst being locally focused and locally led. We can’t wait for Dublin to get to know us.”
