Eventbrite announced it is to create about 15 new jobs in Cork.
Eventbrite operates as a self-service ticketing and registration platform. The company today announced plans to hire upto 15 full-time customer support staff. It also said that this number could grow to up to 50 employees over the next three years.
The firm is opening a new office in Cork to support customer growth and will serve event organisers on a global scale.
Bilingual candidates will have an advantage as the company plans to hire employees who speak various languages (including German, Dutch, Italian, French and English).
Ahead of job advertising, the firm is currently looking for a suitable location for the new office in Cork city.
“Helping our organisers run successful events lies at the heart of our company, and our global 24/7 customer support team is crucial in providing this support,” said Joel Crouch, Eventbrite’s General Manager for both Ireland and the UK.
“When we looked for a home for our growing customer support team in Europe, we searched for a place with easy access to great talent, while also affording our team members a high quality of life. That’s what we found in Cork.”
The new Cork office will be Eventbrite’s tenth office worldwide and the company’s second in Ireland.
