More Than 300 New Jobs Promised By HubSpot

HubSpot has revealed plans to create 320 new jobs over the next three years in Dublin.

The announcement was made as the company officially opened its new office space at One Dockland Central.

Welcoming the announcement, Richard Bruton TD, Minister of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, said: "The growth and success of technology companies has been a major contributor to the recovery we have seen in the jobs market and the economy over recent years. HubSpot is a highly innovative company in a fast-growing niche within this sector, and it was clear when we first met in Boston in 2012 that they had highly ambitious plans for their Dublin expansion.

"I am delighted to be here to celebrate HubSpot's achievements here since it established its first operation three years ago, and to welcome their announcement that it will grow its workforce by 320 people over the next three years. Targeting high-growth technology companies has been a central part of our jobs plan, and I am delighted that a leading company like HubSpot has shown such confidence in Ireland.

"I can't think of a better way to celebrate HubSpot's growth across EMEA than with a commitment to continued growth and the opening of a bigger, better office in Dublin where we can build on the fantastic work has already been achieved," said JD Sherman, HubSpot President & COO. "HubSpot's Dublin-based team has been core to so much of the success that we've seen as a company around the globe over the last three years and I am so excited for the successes that are yet to come."

HubSpot's new office space occupies the third and fourth floors at One Dockland Central and features some unique and exciting perks, including a fitness room, a library and other quiet rooms and on-site pub with draught beer and arcade games

The office also includes key characteristics that have become HubSpot staples across all of our global offices: All 270+ desks in the space are electronic and can convert from sitting to standing at the push of a button. The office is equipped with varying conference rooms, collaboration spaces and nomad desks so that employees can choose the space they work best in. And, Dublin employees will now have a dedicated IT help desk and an ever-popular IT-vending machine.

"We are incredibly pleased to see HubSpot increase its commitment to Ireland and its efforts to build a company with not only a strong corporate culture but with strong Dublin roots," Martin Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland, added.

"In its few years in Dublin, HubSpot has created fantastic opportunities across all business functions and we're excited about the opportunity that they will continue to bring to the city as they grow."
