A software firm is to create 120 jobs at its European hub in Dublin.

Coupa Software has officially opened its new office in the capital.

It currently employs 60 people in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), with the majority based in Dublin.

The launch is supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.

The cloud-based financial application provider is looking to fill roles in the areas of technical support, professional services, technical account management, integrations support, technical training, sales, marketing, finance and HR.

The jobs will come on-stream in the next three to five years.

Coupa says in a year-over-year comparison, the EMEA region grew rapidly -with three times the number of customers from 2014.

The company says more than 500 customers in over 40 countries use Coupa financial applications.
