Leading telematics firm and insurer partner Insurance & Mobility Solutions (IMS) has launched a recruitment drive to boost its workforce in Manchester and Crewe by 24%.
The expansion of its Manchester and Crew teams is part of IMS's global recruitment programme, which would also see a significant increase in the company's workforce in Ontario, Canada, by the end of the year.
Claire Birks, the group HR director at IMS, said the company would offer a work-from-home option for the new roles.
“We like to give people the option to choose, as some prefer to work in an office environment, and we have redesigned our offices to make it an option,” she said.
The vacancies mostly include senior R&D positions, such as software developers, engineering managers, product owners, project managers, and IT and infrastructure staff.
“We already have many world-class software engineers, data scientists, and internet-of-things experts, and our intention to stay ahead of our competitors now means we need to add further talent to our ranks,” Birks said.
“We're looking for people at the top of their game who can help us push technology boundaries and deliver outcomes that make mobility safer, smarter, and fairer for everybody.”
