Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered to create 750 new jobs in Poland

According to Reuters Goldman Sachs plans to hire 250 employees in Poland, while Standard Chartered wants to open new hub here with 500 potential workplaces. Goldman Sachs spokesman confirmed that the investment bank plans to increase its headcount from the current 525 to 750-800. The new jobs will primarily be in operations and technology, risk management, treasury and human resources - mainly ‘back office’ roles which do not have to be located in more expensive locations such as London or Frankfurt. Standard Chartered said it was looking to expand in eastern Europe by setting up an office with about 500 staff, a spokesman said, adding that possible locations included Warsaw and Kraków as well as Prague and Budapest. The decision will be announced in Q1, 2018.
