End-to-end IT services firm DXC Technology has announced it will bring 1,200 new jobs to its Conway, Ark. location, with new positions in security IT services, healthcare and life sciences, and automotive. The DXC location currently has 450 employees, and is one of two DXC integrated Medicaid services delivery centers in the country. Currently, the company works with 16 colleges and universities in the state to develop and recruit talent, and will continue to mine them for the new jobs.

“We’re proud of our public-private partnership with the State of Arkansas and Chamber, and helping manage the dramatic transformation underway in public health services,” said Andrea Fiumicelli, VP and GM of healthcare and life sciences for DXC. “We have a great team in Conway, and our expansion here will create new job and career opportunities, strengthen our educational partnerships, and contribute to the area’s growth economically and as a center of innovation. I want to thank Gov. [Asa] Hutchinson, Brad Lacy and their teams for their confidence and trust in DXC.”

Lacy, CEO of the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and Conway Development Corporation, added: “DXC is the perfect fit for our community. Conway has a fifty-year history of growing technology talent. Through partnerships with Governor Hutchinson on initiatives like UCA’s cyber range and the Arkansas Coding Academy, we are investing in next generation skills. Today those investments paid off as one of the world’s largest technology companies and leaders in digital transformation recognize that talent pipeline and make a significant commitment to grow their business here.”

Fiumicelli said the new jobs would cover everything from entry-level up to highly skilled mid-career technical talent. Applicants can visit jobs.DXC.technology for more information.

“A large part of the mission of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and this administration has been to recruit high-paying, high-tech jobs to the state, and we’re thrilled to see DXC expand in Conway,” said Governor Hutchinson. “When an existing business chooses to reinvest and expand, you know there’s something special happening.”

Conway Mayor Bart Castleberry added: “This community, the facility, and the associates who work here have seen a decade of change in the technology industry. It’s a credit to central Arkansas’s talent pipeline that a company like DXC recognizes not only the proven record of performance but the opportunities for growth.”
