Gousto anticipates the creation of 30 jobs in 2024 and expects potential for many additional employment opportunities as it scales. These roles will cover management, marketing, food and supply chain, and fulfillment.
Orchestrating the company from within, Gousto will manage all operations, including a mix of firms including Bond Freeze and delivery handover by DPD to cater to local businesses and Irish consumers, thereby securing efficiency and maximum freshness.
