Staples To Open Seattle Development Center
Framingham-based office supply retailer Staples Inc. will open a development center in Seattle to boost its ecommerce efforts, the company announced today.
It will be the firm’s first West Coast office dedicated to ecommerce and engineering. It will house teams responsible for driving major initiatives to enhance next-generation digital platforms, personalization and “big data,” the company said.
“Staples is changing the way customers shop online,” said Faisal Masud, Staples’ executive vice president for global e-commerce. “Seattle is an innovation hub rivaling Silicon Valley and features some of the world’s biggest technology companies.” The new site will allow the company to “tap into the wide range of talented engineering and e-commerce professionals on the West Coast,” Masud said.
Staples said it’s adding software development, product management, usability, analytics and online merchandising positions as it continues to invest in capabilities that let customers shop however and whenever they want, across mobile devices, desktops and stores. The company recently announced a new store format that covers all sales channels and is working on several new e-commerce and mobile commerce initiatives.
The center is scheduled to open during the coming months, the company said.
