Zazzle To Create 60 New Jobs In Cork
Up to 60 new jobs are to be created in Cork by online marketplace, Zazzle, which has established its European Headquarters in the newly purchased former Guinness landmark premises at Union Quay.
Zazzle, the online marketplace for custom products, launched in 2005 and based in Redwood City, California, is planning on hiring for various roles to support its growing international business. The roles include multilingual International Customer Support, Finance, HR, Sales and Marketing as well as Technology Development.
100 staff members have already been hired and are currently working in the Union Quay offices.
The company plans to hire 60 more seasonal staff over the coming weeks to meet demand for the busy holiday season. These positions in customer support offer flexible hours from as little as eight to 12 hours per week.
Jason Kang, Managing Director of Zazzle Ireland, said: "We are excited to grow our presence in Cork, a fantastic city with a strong talent pool. Our historic building is the perfect launching pad for us to build our global presence. We are actively hiring for the holiday season, particularly college students who may be interested in part-time roles."
Congratulating Zazzle on establishing its European Headquarters in Cork, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation, Mary Mitchell O'Connor, said: "This is exactly the kind of innovative company that we want to see setting up in Ireland and it is a great boost of confidence for Cork. These additional seasonal jobs will provide students in particular with their first steps on the jobs ladder and give them a great insight into the workings of a forward thinking company in the digital space.''
CEO of IDA Ireland, Martin Shanahan added: "As a leading marketplace for 'all things customised' in a high-growth consumer sector, Zazzle's Customer Support Centre and strategic business services activities in Cork are a valuable addition to Ireland's eCommerce and Consumer clusters. It will further consolidate Ireland's position as the destination of choice for leading-edge, digitally-enabled companies. I wish Zazzle continued success here."
Recruitment for the new post is underway and interested parties are encouraged to contact Zazzle in Cork for more information.
