Visualsoft announces major technology recruitment drive eCommerce and digital marketing specialist seeking as many as 15 new developers across its Manchester, Newcastle and Stockton offices

Leading eCommerce and digital agency Visualsoft has announced plans to significantly expand its platform, client success, onboarding and brand teams, creating more than 20 new jobs.

From software development and QA, to eCommerce strategy right the way through to brand marketing and SEO content creation, the new additions will fill a wide range of roles to develop and improve Visualsoft’s market-leading eCommerce platform, as well as support the digital marketing efforts of the agency’s 1,000+ strong client portfolio.

A particular priority for the business is expanding its team of developers to work on its award-winning eCommerce platform, which currently processes £1.20 out of every £100 spent in the UK. Visualsoft has plans to recruit up to eight new PHP Developers to its Platform team in Q1 alone, and has further plans to significantly boost its developer headcount over its Platform, Service Delivery and Onboarding teams over the coming months, with as many as 15 vacancies available.

This expansion comes soon after Visualsoft having received a major investment from Livingbridge, one of the UK’s leading mid-market private equity investors, to fund the continued expansion and innovation of Visualsoft’s proprietary eCommerce platform. The platform has continued to grow, and, on 19th November 2020, client revenues processed through the platform exceeded more than £1 billion over a rolling 12-month period for the first time.

Since 1998 Visualsoft, which employs over 280 people with additional offices in Newcastle, Manchester and Dubai, has been developing industry-leading eCommerce services, and has continually built upon its innovative platform to ensure that it remains at the forefront of the industry. It also offers retail partners a ground-breaking ‘shared success’ model, removing many of the upfront set-up costs and linking its fees to the actual sales and revenue generated for clients.

Dean Benson, CEO at Visualsoft, said: “Between ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the continued shift from bricks-and-mortar retail to online, the need for retailers to be able to offer their customers a great online experience has arguably never been higher. This, alongside our continued growth, has sparked the rush of new roles opening up at the business.

“We have been supporting businesses with their online growth for over two decades, and are now in a fantastic place to expand and optimise the service we can offer to our clients. It’s a great time to welcome fresh, exciting new talent on board to help drive our own growth ambitions and, in turn, those of the businesses we are proud to work with.”
