SAN DIEGO- Wrike, the Mountain View, California-based developer of enterprise work management software, today announced the opening of a new office in San Diego with plans to create 150 jobs over the next three years in sales and customer service.

After conducting an assessment of several cities including Austin, Raleigh and Phoenix, Wrike found San Diego to be the most attractive location for expansion.

"We're thrilled to expand to San Diego and open this location as a launch pad for our growth here. We've been really impressed with the high caliber of talent in the region and the enthusiasm for growing professionally in a startup environment."
San Diego Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer said “Wrike's expansion represents exactly the kind of innovative startup the city is working to attract. San Diego has the talent for high-tech and infrastructure for high-growth businesses. I’m glad that Wrike recognizes the possibilities of building a business in San Diego and I’m excited for the opportunities and jobs that will available to San Diego residents in the years to come."

Building a vibrant culture in the San Diego office is a top priority for the company.
