The office will initially hold 150 employees - mainly local hires - and Goldman has an option to add more capacity if needed. The move is a major boost for the Government s levelling up agenda.
Goldman Sachs Birmingham office is coming soon. Just five months after the Birmingham move was initially announced, Joanne Hannaford, head of EMEA technology, said yesterday that the office is due to open this September. The new office will house engineers, said Hannaford, but it will also house lawyers, internal auditors and controllers among others.
Hannaford was speaking on a Goldman Sachs Zoom meeting for people interested in becoming engineers in the new Birmingham operation. The firm had 10 cities on its list of potential secondary UK locations, said Hannaford. Goldman chose Birmingham after extensive research because of its strong and diverse talent pool.
