monday.com launches office and monday U
monday.com, a work operating system (Work OS) where organisations of any size can create the tools and processes they need to manage every aspect of their work, has opened a new, larger office in London as it continues to expand in the UK and globally. As monday.com’s European headquarters, the new office can hold up to 150 people and is located in Fitzrovia, one of the main epicentres of London’s bustling tech scene.
This new premises comes soon after the launch of monday.com’s first UK office, which had only opened in November 2021. The company has scaled significantly in the past five months, prompting the move to a bigger space much sooner than initially anticipated: not only did monday.com double its headcount last year, the company is planning to have more than 100 employees in the UK by the end of 2022, and is currently hiring for open roles across IT, consulting, marketing, and partnerships and alliances.
“We are so proud to launch our new home in London’s bustling tech community, which will act as our EMEA headquarters. Designed to reflect our values, it is a space for monday.com employees, customers, and partners to collaborate as colleagues and friends”, says Naveed Malik, Regional Director, EMEA at monday.com. “We are rapidly expanding our customer and partner ecosystem as well, and are thrilled to see more and more companies grow with us, leveraging agile low-code and no-code solutions to manage their work”.
Similar to its offices in other locations, such as New York City and Tel Aviv, this new space not only reflects monday.com’s core values, including collaboration, ownership, and transparency, but also empowers people to live them in their day-to-day work. For example, transparency is reflected through digital dashboards on the walls where teams can showcase the data they are using to progress projects. Similarly, a sense of collaboration is encouraged through thoughtful seating plans across the office, ranging from informal sofa corners to meeting rooms of various sizes that can accommodate all team types.
“The collaboration between our workplace design team and the local employees, as they shared thoughts and got live feedback throughout the process was incredible. Everyone in the London office had the opportunity to feel part of the company in a tangible way that goes beyond day-to-day work,” explains Keren Reznik, workplace design team lead at monday.com. “This will be an ongoing process – our space will evolve to reflect our culture and the changing tech industry. We are already looking at possible concept options for our second floor, which will open in July.”
monday.com has also chosen the London office as the first international location for its training academy, monday U. An academic initiative, monday U will train talented individuals looking to enter the tech industry so they can access roles at monday.com and the UK high-tech industry at large.
Registration is now open for a 3-week business development certification programme which will focus on partnership development and sales in tech.
Since the start of monday.com, the company’s leadership has always been driven to give back. As part of this, in November of 2021, they launched monday U, an academic focused initiative to support bridging the gap between talented individuals and the high-tech industry at large.
monday U began with three pilot programmes across business development, recruitment, and customer success and until now, it has been based out of monday.com’s Tel Aviv offices. To date, they have launched more than 10 successful programmes and in October 2021, the first sales training course resulted in half of participants landing a job at monday.com. Now the programme is officially expanding its mission internationally, starting with London.
Bosmat Ben Tzvi, Programme lead at monday.com’s Tel Aviv office, has worked to build the London Business Development training programme which includes 35 hours of classes and hands on workshops, resulting in a certification to which allows entrants to apply for a multitude of high tech roles. The sessions during the programme include:
- Week 1 – Intro to business development and client scoping
- Week 2 – Connect with customers and building solutions
- Week 3 – Partner recruitment and onboarding and partner management
Each week, students will work with a variety of experts across monday.com to develop their skill set and knowledge for whatever career path they choose next.
As investment into the tech industry continues to grow, the demand for talent is increasing at a rapid pace. Last year it was reported that the demand for tech jobs was 42% higher in June 2021 than at the same time in 2019, and this number will only increase. As a result of this, monday.com recognised a need to upskill their own workforce and support companies in filling these roles with qualified candidates. Entrants to the programme will go from having little to no exposure to the tech ecosystem to having the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to launch their career and land a job at a tech company.
