You will have a clear opportunity to grow both the existing portfolio and the wider Irish public-sector market under your ownership.</p> <p>At Databricks, you will help public-sector organisations across the Republic of Ireland use data and AI to improve services, make better decisions, and deliver outcomes that matter to citizens.
