A MARKETING technology firm is opening a new office in Brighton, creating 30 jobs.

Founded in 2010, SaleCycle’s services are used by some of the world’s biggest retailers and brands, including Virgin Atlantic, BT, Nike and IKEA.

The company employs more than 165 staff and has grown from its head office in the North East to have sites around the world, including Washington DC, Paris and Singapore.

SaleCycle is one of Europe’s fastest growing companies, and has recently been named in the FT 1000 as well as both the Sunday Times Export Track 100 and its Tech Track 100.

The Brighton office will be located in Trafalgar Place.

The first openings are for software engineering team leads and experienced software engineers.

CTO Doug Johnson said: “Brighton is a terrific location for us to invest in the next phase of SaleCycle’s growth, with its high concentration of digital tech talent.

“I’m thrilled to be building a team of experienced forward thinking software engineers here, keen to emulate the modern practices, culture and working environment we’ve become renowned for in the North East.”
