Workvivo plans to add 100 jobs at new Cork hub
Workvivo Quay, Lapp's Cork On Offices
Employee communications platform Workvivo plans to add 100 jobs at its new Cork City hub over the next two years.
Founded by John Goulding and Joe Lennon in 2017, the firm grew rapidly, adding a growing list of blue-chip clients which accelerated during the covid lockdowns as remote working became standard across the globe.
Workvivo counts Ryanair, Amazon, Bupa and the Virgin Group among its customers.
Worvivo was acquired by Zoom in 2023 but continues to operate independently. The company's new offices on Lapp's Quay follow the blueprint of Zoom’s other hubs around the globe, marking a shift from traditional office spaces towards a technology-first experiential working hub designed for hybrid working. This project is supported by the Irish Government on behalf of IDA Ireland
The new roles will be hired over the next two years and will primarily be product and engineering positions to invest in research and innovation.
“It was so important to us that our new engagement hub would stay true to our DNA, while also setting us up for the next phase in our scaling journey as part of Zoom," John Goulding said.
"We’ve been so fortunate to have hired truly world-class talent over the last few years in Ireland. Now, with the incredible support of the IDA, we’re excited to welcome more people into the Workvivo by Zoom team.
The opening was attended by European Commissioner-Designate for Democracy, Justice and the Rule of Law Michael McGrath. “I welcome the creation of an expected 100 jobs over the next two years," he said.
"This is a further endorsement for Cork City and the wider South-West region as a prime location for technology companies like Zoom. I want to congratulate everyone who has made today’s opening a reality. I also wish to acknowledge the role of IDA Ireland, which continue to be instrumental in attracting foreign direct investment into Ireland.”
Workvivo's Chief Operating Officer Gavin Wrenn said the expansion was a notable milestone for the company. "Only a fraction of startups will ever make it as far as Workvivo has," he said, adding that while they have retained their independence and brand they have leveraged their role within Zoom to extend their reach with a Workvivo presence in Sydney, San Francisco and Sao Paulo.
