Optum

Optum in Ireland

Optum has been supporting global health care systems from Ireland for more than 24 years and we have been investing in Ireland throughout our time here. Our highly-skilled team is made up of 1150 employees in Letterkenny and a further 950 in our growing Dublin offices. 

Because of the investment in our Irish team, including our focus on recruiting top tech talent and a development programme that encourages a problem-solving mindset, we make a difference to the lives of patients and improve health outcomes globally.

Thanks to millions of touchpoints and our relationships across the health care system, Optum understands how the world of technology connects to the world of health.  Our deep expertise, advanced analytics and innovative technology help drive sustainable health economics and more personalised care.

By bringing together deep industry expertise with diverse data sets, advanced analytics and emerging technology, we help simplify industry processes and deliver actionable insights to support health leaders and professionals. We make a difference in every corner of the health care system by developing solutions that improve health outcomes worldwide. We use forward-looking tools like artificial intelligence and machine learning to help solve health problems. 

Together, we can help our Irish communities thrive. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a full and healthy life. Our focus on social responsibility is a key part of how we can help make it happen. We fund a range of education programmes, including scholarships and mentoring in the North West and the Greater Dublin area. We are proud to be a long-standing contributor to our local community. Through corporate donations and employee volunteering efforts, we support dozens of amazing Irish charities.
