Multi-channel customer engagement and marketing provider Xtremepush will fill 50 roles in Dublin this year and will add another 120 in the next three years, more than doubling its workforce as it rolls out its enterprise customer intelligence platform worldwide.
Xtremepush secured $33m in finance to assist its global ambitions in a funding round led by Grafton Capital after experiencing pandemic-induced customer growth of 64%. The company now has 350 enterprise customers and has forecast growth of 60% in 2022.
The announcement was made as Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Robert Troy opened the company's new offices on Clarendon Street in Dublin 2.
Xtremepush CEO Tommy Kearns said the company's platform had fuelled dramatic business growth in the seven years since its launch.
"We are already becoming a global category leader, working with leading enterprise clients from offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, North America and Eastern Europe. Our new Dublin flagship headquarters, in this prime location, is a marker of further growth acceleration," he said.
Minister Troy said that global demand for Irish-developed software and digital solutions underscores Ireland's reputation as a tech hub, adding: "I am delighted that Xtremepush plans to create up to 50 new roles at its new Dublin headquarters.
"The successful growth that Xtremepush has experienced in recent years is reflective of the wealth of highly skilled and talented people here and reaffirms Ireland’s reputation as world-leading tech hub.
"The Irish government, through Enterprise Ireland, is committed to supporting companies like Xtremepush to scale and grow and I wish the team every continued success in this new chapter.”
Jenny Melia, divisional manager of technology and services at Enterprise Ireland, commented: "Xtremepush has an ambitious growth strategy and its new headquarters and employment expansion plans are tangible evidence of the potential of this Irish-owned global leader.
"Enterprise Ireland is proud to support Xtremepush and we look forward to working with Tommy and his team into the future as it builds on its impressive growth to date."
Xtremepush currently employs 80, having doubled staff numbers in the past 18 months and recently hiring a new CFO, chief people officer, head of engineering, director of operations and director of marketing.
It is now recruiting for a VP of sales for the US, customer support staff including account executives and managers for both the US and Europe, technical solutions consultants and financial accountants. The Clarendon Street HQ can accommodate more than 120 employees.
