Digital consultancy opens Birmingham office

Hippo Digital is expanding its existing Midlands presence by opening a Birmingham office.

The expansion will provide new digital jobs locally as well as investment in local community initiatives as part of Hippo’s Corporate Social Responsibility agenda.

The office will provide a work base for Hippo’s growing team of service designers, user researchers, content designers, UXers, delivery managers, business analysts, product managers, software engineers and data engineers.

With continued expansion across all offices, Hippo is looking to grow to more than 400 people in the next financial year.

Over the next year, Hippo will look to recruit additional digital consultants, mainly from the Birmingham and Coventry areas, and complete a redesign and restructure of its office facility in The Southside Building, an 11-storey office block in Birmingham city centre.

Mike Tattersall, Hippo service and delivery director, said: “Partnering and working closely with our customers to help them thrive as modern digital organisations is incredibly important to us, so being able to offer a regional presence to our customers is key whilst also tapping into the rich talent that Birmingham has to offer.

“Since our inception in 2016, we have established ourselves as a leading supplier of digital consultancy services with a real focus on delivering meaningful transformation projects that are human-centred and evidence-based. Birmingham is renowned for being a major hub of IT talent with a thriving Technology community. We look forward to welcoming professionals from the region to our existing team of more than 300.”
