Irish Titan builds and grows ecommerce channels. 100% of our work is done by our Titans (no contractors, freelancers, or offshore workers). We’ve never been accused of being quiet BUT we love to listen. It’s how we engage our clients for ‘Partnerships, Not Transactions’. This all flows into our ‘why’ - Business First. Online Second℠. That means it’s not about bits and bytes, pixels, or keywords. It’s about solving real business problems for our clients.We like to say “We take our work seriously but refuse to take ourselves seriously.” We intentionally hire a broad set of personalities, and we want everyone to be their genuine, authentic self. Why work at Irish Titan? Other than regular stuff like insurance and retirement (we’ve got that covered), we have flexible schedules, a pet-first environment, batpole, mandatory month-long sabbatical after 5 years, and real recognition. The only question you should ask yourself: how much do you like the color green?
