The software company Slack is to create 80 new jobs in Dublin over the next two years.
Slack says the new jobs are being created to meet growing demand from European businesses, and existing customers including Barclays, The Financial Times and Ocado Technology.
“Customer growth and adoption across all markets in Europe are driving the growth of our team and operations in Dublin” says James Sherrett, Slack’s Dublin-based senior manager of accounts.
“We are the fastest growing business application in history. Our user base grew tenfold last year and we’re seeing strong demand across all industries and from businesses of all sizes, for more efficient and effective team communications.” he added.
Slack is a messaging app for teams, which helps make working lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive by bringing team communication, file sharing and other tools together in one central platform.
It integrates with dozens of popular services such as Twitter, Dropbox, Trello, Asana, Google Docs, JIRA, MailChimp, Stripe, Zendesk, and others to help consolidate and make sense of the ever-growing flows of data that confront modern teams.
Slack has moved its European Headquarters to One Park Place in Dublin. The business, which is headquartered in San Francisco, opened its first office outside of North America in The Digital Hub, Dublin 8, in May 2015.
Having outgrown the space, the company is moving its European headquarters to accommodate new positions in customer experience and account management teams, which will bring the total number of people working for Slack in Ireland to 180 by the end of 2017.
As of April 2016, Slack has 2.7 million daily active users, and 430 employees worldwide. Customers using Slack include Ticketmaster, Lush and Spotify.
