Chargebee moves to WeWork Dublin to facilitate rapid growth

WeWork, a leading global flexible space provider, today announced that Chargebee, the global billing and monetisation company, has moved offices to recently refurbished WeWork 5 Harcourt Road in Dublin to host its growing workforce. This move not only accommodates Chargebee’s rapid growth but demonstrates the company’s continued investment in workplace experience by providing a dynamic work environment for its growing employee base to support its next phase of innovation and success.

Chargebee, a leading billing and monetisation platform, has experienced impressive growth since its founding in Chennai, India, expanding to Amsterdam, Sydney, Bangalore, Utah, Bethesda MD, and Dublin. The company’s new office at WeWork 5 Harcourt Road is thoughtfully designed to blend first-class design, functionality, and dynamic breakout areas to inspire innovation, foster collaboration, and strengthen company culture.

Over the next three years, Chargebee plans to grow its Dublin workforce to a team of 50, and continue to scale its business at rate. The inherent flexibility of WeWork’s model is a key enabler of Chargebee’s expansion strategy, allowing the company to scale its footprint up or down as needed. It also supports Chargebee’s flex-first hybrid work model, giving employees the freedom to choose their in-office days. This ensures that Chargebee’s real estate decisions remain closely aligned with both its business growth and the evolving needs of its workforce.

Guy Marion, Chief Marketing Officer at Chargebee, says “As someone who has recently relocated to Dublin, I’ve been truly impressed by the vibrant tech ecosystem not only within the city but also in WeWork’s community. Dublin acts as a central hub to our operations, and our move to 5 Harcourt Road is a significant step in advancing our mission to innovate the revenue landscape and support businesses across Europe with their billing and monetisation strategies.

The scalability of our space enables us to expand operations without concern over outgrowing our office. Combined with the signature design and hospitality of WeWork, I am incredibly confident in our ability to attract top talent, as well as the exceptional office experience we are offering to our employees; something that remains a top-of-mind priority for us as we continue to pursue our ambitious goals.”

Luke Armstrong, Regional President, UKI, EMEA and APAC, WeWork says “As companies continue to formalise their work strategies, WeWork is seeing a growing trend in Dublin, where an increasing number of scaling companies are prioritising office experiences that engage and inspire employees, while also opting for flexible workspace solutions that support their growth ambitions. Chargebee’s move to WeWork 5 Harcourt Road is a prime example of this shift.

By choosing a well-designed, scalable space in the heart of Dublin – one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for innovation and business growth – Chargebee is poised to expand their footprint, grow their team, and scale their business with confidence at WeWork. We’re excited to see firsthand what they’ll achieve at this location.”

Demonstrating its commitment to the Dublin market as well as its focus on delivering a top-tier experience for members, WeWork is investing in key locations across the capital, including Charlemont Exchange, 5 Harcourt Road, and 2 Dublin Landings. These investments will enhance both amenities and design, as well as reconfigure spaces from larger office layouts to more flexible, adaptable designs. This shift aims to meet the evolving needs of SMBs driving regional growth and ensuring that WeWork continues to offer dynamic solutions that align with the changing demands of the market.

$5.7bn-valued Workato to hire 50 at its Dublin Office

Workato, the leading enterprise automation platform, plans to ramp up hiring at its Dublin office in Ireland after a year of record momentum, which included launching its first European data centre in Germany in May 2021, raising over $420 million in total funding to date with a $5.7 billion valuation last November, and recently being named to the 2022 CNBC Disruptor 50 List  

The Irish base opened last September and has hired 10 people since opening the Dublin office at the WeWork building.  The new office will result in the creation of 50 jobs over the next 3+ years approximately, with predominantly sales, marketing and engineering staff. Their focus will be to support Workato’s current customers in the region and the business expansion in the European commercial and enterprise segments.
