Outdoorsy has announced the opening of its U.S. headquarters in Austin, Texas. Outdoorsy hosts a bookable inventory of RVs worldwide.
“We are thrilled to be a part of a thriving tech-savvy and beautiful city that embraces our values of celebrating both community and its surroundings,” said Jennifer Young, co-founder and CMO of Outdoorsy. “We’ll be hiring some of the best and brightest talent Austin has to offer, while also ensuring everyone can easily access and safely enjoy recreational travel – whether that means heading across the state in an Airstream or enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the Hill Country in a Mercedes Winnebago.”
Austin was chosen as Outdoorsy’s headquarters for:
- The talent pool depth – particularly among millennials. Ranked second only behind New York City as the top city for millennials to live.
- Recently being named the best city for job seekers in 2017
- Award-winning park system with more than 20,000 acres of green space, 200 athletic facilities and 700 staff members pioneering innovative and enriching programming.
With the move, the company’s management team and more than 85 employees will call the city home. Hiring local employees will be centered around key areas that include marketing, product, customer service, software engineering, finance and sales.
