iHEARTRADIO's digital operation is opening a second headquarters, this one in NASHVILLE. The new office, scheduled to open in first quarter 2020, will join NEW YORK in housing the media company's digital team.
Details of the new office will be "announced soon," according to a press release; the company is immediately hiring for engineering product development, data science, and other jobs at the new facility at jobs.iheart.com.
“As we continue to invest in our ad tech, products, research, sales and content, and further build on the success of our digital service, this is the right time to expand our digital team -- and what better location than NASHVILLE, given that music is at the heart of our business,” said iHEARTRADIO President DARREN DAVIS.
”NASHVILLE’s technology ecosystem is thriving, and combined with the city’s rich history in music, entrepreneurial spirit and diverse culture, we believe this is the perfect location for us to extend our digital leadership and recruit highly-skilled and passionate candidates for our second iHEARTRADIO DIGITAL headquarters.”
“We can think of no better place than NASHVILLE for iHEARTRADIO to establish its second digital headquarters,” said TENNESSEE Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner BOB ROLFE. “For generations, music has been ingrained in TENNESSEE’s culture, economy and way of life. iHEARTRADIO’s new operation is the perfect fit for TENNESSEE’s growing tech scene, and we’re proud to welcome one of the world’s leading entertainment companies to the VOLUNTEER STATE.”
“At iHEART we operate as talent first in the same spirit of entrepreneurship found in successful startups,” said iHEARTMEDIA Chairman/CEO BOB PITTMAN. “We are excited to expand our NYC digital team into NASHVILLE and tap into this city’s diverse pool of high tech and creative, ambitious talent. As the leading audio company in AMERICA, this new facility will allow us to continue to deliver the best content, cultivate even more innovation and drive further listener growth and revenue opportunities to our advertisers.”
“We are excited about iHEARTRADIO's expansion in the NASHVILLE region. Music continues to be an integral part of our culture, community and economy. iHEARTRADIO's decision to focus their NORTH AMERICAN growth in NASHVILLE is a testament to our vibrant music scene, our talented workforce and robust business climate,” added NASHVILLE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Pres. RALPH SCHULZ.
