Nasdaq Philippines Inc. is expanding its workforce to 400 employees by the end of 2024, an increase of about a third from the current number.
Nasdaq, a global provider of trading, clearing, exchange technology, listing, information and public company services technology company, rang the opening bell at thePhilippine Stock Exchange Tuesday in celebration of its 10th anniversary in the Philippines.
“Nasdaq is proud of its ten-year track record in the Philippines, and it would not have been possible without our employees who have been instrumental in helping to fuel our success while delivering exceptional service to clients,” Nelson Griggs, president of Capital Access Platforms at Nasdaq said.
Nasdaq’s Manila office started with about 100 employees when it opened 10 years ago. Currently, the number of highly-skilled Nasdaq employees has grown to more than 300 people.
The company anticipates hiring new roles across its three divisions, including the growing Capital Access Platforms unit. Many of the new roles will focus on capital markets, private markets, indices, ESG and general financial data analysis, the company said.
Yasser Fattah, Nasdaq advisory vice president and Philippine senior site lead, said the roles the company bringing here are in terms of skill sets, financial analysis, data engineering, and data science.
“When we hire, we build up teams here at Nasdaq. We don’t just bring in analysts that often we think about. We’re looking at where’s that role going to be in two or three years. So there’s career progression for that person, so that we build a depth of their experience,” Fattah said.
