The company will create approximately 160 new jobs across customer service, inbound sales, business account management, finance, supplier operations, business analysts, recruitment, training and IT service functions.
To accommodate the expanding team Wayfair will open a new 30,000 square foot facility on Tuam Road to replace its facility in Mervue Business Park.
The development of the new facility is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland.

The expansion of our operations in Galway will enable us to support the company’s strong growth in Europe and ensure that we continue to deliver a world-class shopping experience as we redefine the way people shop for their homes.”
