Smartsheet, a work management software provider based in Bellevue, Wash., announced on Wednesday it is adding capacity for another 300 employees in its Boston office, which opened in early 2017.
In the almost two years since the opening of the company’s second location in Boston, the company's Leather District office grew to 170 employees—reaching full capacity in April this year.
Thanks to an in-building expansion, Smartsheet is now tripling its office space, growing from 20,000 to over 62,000 square feet of office space and bringing total capacity to up to 450 employees.
As of Wednesday morning, the company’s website had around 20 openings in Boston across customer success, strategic accounts, sales, engineering, consulting and people operations.
The 13-year-old maker of collaboration software went public on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2018 (the same day as fellow enterprise software company DocuSign), raising $150 million in its initial public offering and ultimately pricing its stock at $15 per share. Notable competitors include Atlassian, which went public in 2015, Alphabet and Microsoft.
In early 2017, Smartsheet told BostInno that the Boston expansion was planned to help the company better serve its customers in Eastern U.S. and European time zones.
Smartsheet was only one of the many out-of-state companies that recently announced an expansion to the Hub. On Wednesday, Californian hybrid cloud management platform Scalr also announced plans to add employees by the year’s end, prompting the move to a larger office near Boston’s South Station.
Last year, Florida-based pet supplier Chewy opened a Boston office with plans to hire 200 people, and London-based employee engagement platform Reward Gateway opened its global North America headquarters on Tremont Street.
"As we anticipated, Boston has proven to be a rich source of talent, and along with the continued strength of our business, has allowed us to quickly grow our team," said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet, in a statement. "We we are finding outstanding candidates who are excited about joining a high-growth SaaS company where they can have an immediate and meaningful impact."
