The automotive shopping website, CarGurus announced it will establish its European Headquarters in Dublin, creating 100 new jobs over the next three years. The office will be CarGurus’ first branch location outside the US and will be a hub for the Inside Sales, Dealer Account Services and Technical Development teams that will build CarGurus’ country-specific operations in Europe, including CarGurus UK which launched in September 2015.
Access to talent and a vibrant tech community in Dublin are key reasons why CarGurus chose to locate in Dublin.
Langley Steinert, CarGurus’ Founder and CEO said: “It is an exciting time for CarGurus, as we grow our consumer and dealership audiences and expand the reach of our unique car shopping model around the world. Dublin gives us access to the exceptional talent we will need to propel our continued success in Europe, and we look forward to joining the vibrant tech community in this great city.”
Kristen Kenny, CarGurus VP People and Talent Acquisition said: “Dublin is full of amazing talent, and we are actively recruiting professionals in the areas of inside sales and account management. We’re looking for smart, ambitious people who want to be a part of a thriving, entrepreneurial consumer technology company with a very bright future in Europe.”
The company is currently finalizing office location in Dublin and intends to be operational by June 2016.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: “Today’s announcement that CarGurus has decided to establish its first base outside the US and its European Headquarters in Dublin, while also creating 100 jobs, is very welcome and a real boost for the region. The Government and the IDA have worked tirelessly to attract companies to Ireland and CarGurus is among a growing number of companies who have decided to set up a European base in Ireland. This once again is a testament to the talented Irish workforce and also to Ireland as a great place to do business. I wish CarGurus and their workforce all the best for the future”.
Joanna Murphy, CEO of ConnectIreland said: “Our global community of connectors are constantly seeking new opportunities to promote Ireland as a business location and we are delighted that, as a result of the introduction of one connector, CarGurus has chosen Dublin for its European HQ, creating 100 jobs.”
