Yahoo! To Announce Expansion Plans

Yahoo! is expected to announce expansion plans for its Dublin Operations Centre, adding more than 200 new employees in the next 12 months.

The company has already started recruiting for customer support, technology, operations, HR and finance which will support Yahoo!'s business across the Europe, Middle Eastern and Africa (EMEA) region.

For the past decade, Dublin has been a great home for Yahoo!, with its talented international workforce, strong business environment and sophisticated technology infrastructure. Yahoo! opened its doors in Dublin in 2003, and what started as a small team has already grown into a multilingual and multicultural workforce today.

The Dublin team provides world-class customer care, technical and operational support, and finance-related services for the entire EMEA region.

Senior Yahoo! executives met with both An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD and the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, as part of Ireland’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) investment missions in the past year.

"At Yahoo!, we're all about making people’s daily habits inspiring and entertaining, and our team in Dublin helps make this happen everyday. It's the face of Yahoo! for millions of users and advertisers throughout EMEA," said Christophe Parcot, VP and head of EMEA. "We're keenly focused on recruiting and developing the best talent in the industry, and there is significant opportunity at Yahoo! for the right individuals who want to grow their careers with a global digital brand."
