Sendoso, the leading and category creating ‘sending platform’, has announced the creation of 100 jobs at their European headquarters, which will be based in Dublin. The announcement comes on the back of a $100m Series C fundraise, that will enable the company to further expand its global presence servicing over 800 B2B clients worldwide who wish to deliver modern direct mail, personalised gifts, eGifts, and other physical impressions at scale, allowing clients to build stronger, deeper, and more trusted relationships with their customers. Sendoso currently has over 500 employees across the U.S., Europe, and the Asia Pacific and will increase its workforce by 30% by the year-end.

The new positions will cover a range of areas including software engineering, business development, supply chain and customer support with open roles already live for the new Dublin office and will provide further support for its 20,000 global users from customers including Comcast, Kimpton Hotels, Thomson Reuters, Nasdaq, eBay, and others.

The company is currently based in a temporary office, and a future permanent site will be decided shortly along with the location of the company’s warehouse where it will house its extensive gift options. Sendoso is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

Qaseem Shaikh (Chief Technology Officer) and David Ryan (EU Headquarters Lead), who is based in Dublin were also present for the announcement.

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar TD said, “I’m really pleased to see Sendoso’s plans to create 100 new jobs with the establishment of its new European HQ in Dublin. These are highly skilled jobs, offering some good opportunities for those working in software engineering, business development, supply chain and customer service. I’m also glad to see Sendoso adding Irish products to its inventory, which will provide a welcome boost to local SMEs and suppliers. I wish the team the very best as they grow their operations here.”

Michelle Palleschi, President and Chief Operating Officer of Sendoso said, “We’re excited to be announcing these jobs for our new European HQ here in Ireland. The people we hire in this next phase of our global expansion will have a direct and meaningful impact on Sendoso’s trajectory as a category leader. We are looking to speak with intellectually curious, smart, and kind people that will be excited by having a direct impact on our best-in-class product offering, and our customer experience. We are also seeking software engineers who want to share their knowledge and expertise and provide us with the best solutions. We believe the addition of a strong, talented workforce to the global leader of a new sector is the perfect pairing.”

In addition to creating jobs, Sendoso also plans to stock locally sourced Irish products as part of it’s expanding database, meaning the company’s arrival will result in the support and strengthening of Irish SMEs. The company has a robust existing network of international partners and has doubled the size of their international catalog over the past year. Sendoso will use this opportunity to further accelerate their catalog expansion by working with Irish providers of unique and bespoke products including Stillgarden Distillery, an independent distillery based in Inchicore, Dublin, Craft Direct, a supplier of high quality craft beers located in Mullingar, Westmeath, Mookie & Boo, a luxury lifestyle brand based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow and Kin_dfolk, a premium lifestyle store located in Galway city.

“Sendoso is also looking forward to working with some great local providers across the country, as we expand our database of brands that will be available to our ever growing international client base. While our sights are global, we have a firm commitment to local growth, and we intend therefore to become a real player for the Irish economy and want to work with Irish SMEs in expanding their presence not only on a national level but on a global scale,” said David Ryan, European HQ lead at Sendoso.

Welcoming the announcement Martin Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland added “Sendoso is joining a thriving tech scene of fast growing and innovative companies choosing Dublin as the preferred location to establish its European HQ. I wish Sendoso every success with its new Irish operations.”
