Science on the Irish Coast: MSD Is Hiring in Dundalk and Across Ireland

Ireland has quietly become one of the world’s most important pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs — and MSD, known as Merck & Co., Inc. in the US and Canada, is a significant part of that story. A myGwork partner with more than 600 live roles on our platform, MSD is currently hiring for positions including OEM Automation Lead – Senior Specialist in Dundalk, County Louth, offered on a remote-friendly basis.

2,700 members, 30 chapters

MSD’s approach to inclusion is structural rather than symbolic. The company runs 10 Employee Business Resource Groups, and among them the Rainbow Alliance has grown to more than 2,700 members across 30 chapters globally — working on talent recruiting and development, community outreach and business integration for LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies.

That sits alongside networks including Alianza, the Asia Pacific Association, capAbility Network, LEAD, Next Gen Network, the Veterans Leadership Network and the Women’s Network — a pioneering, genuinely global approach rather than a single head-office committee.

For more than 130 years MSD has developed medicines and vaccines, and its purpose is stated simply: using leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world.

Where the jobs are

• Dundalk, County Louth — automation, engineering and manufacturing specialist roles, with remote flexibility on some positions
• Across Ireland — manufacturing and quality, supply chain, clinical, regulatory affairs and IT
• Career breadth — R&D, medical affairs, sales, marketing, engineering, policy and communications, plus 18 internships and 8 early-careers openings globally

Ireland is a particularly strong market for LGBTQ+ candidates on myGwork — roles here convert at roughly double our overall platform average, suggesting Irish jobseekers find what they’re looking for when inclusive employers show up.
