GE Global Operations filed a notice Wednesday with the state saying it is transferring 147 finance and insurance jobs to Genpact, a third-party service provider that works with GE.

The company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice saying it would lay off 147 people Jan. 12.

However, a GE spokeswoman said all of those workers will be given the opportunity to take on a comparable position at Genpact.

Genpact was formed as a subsidiary of GE in 1997 and then spun off as an independent company in 2005.

In August, Genpact posted openings in Jacksonville for call center operations manager, assistant facilities manager for logistics, social media content review analyst and a management trainer in IT.

That came as Genpact, a New York-based global firm that provides digital professional services, prepared to lease most of the three-story SouthPoint 1 building to accommodate 800 jobs.

A Genpact spokeswoman said at the time that Genpact would continue to lease space at Capital Plaza at 10401 Deerwood Park Blvd. S.

Genpact signed that lease for 37,000 square feet of space in spring 2017 and intended to hire 200 people in the first year and expand after that.
