San Francisco-based company will be located in Dublin and intends to source local Irish products as part of its corporate gifting catalog
DUBLIN - October 07, 2021 - Sendoso, the leading and category creating ‘sending
platform’, has today 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 present for today’s 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 said “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
