Yext Announces Plans To Hire Over 200 Employees In Germany Over Five Years

Yext, Inc. (NYSE: Yext), the leader in digital knowledge management (DKM), is expanding its global business, with plans to hire over two hundred employees in Germany over the next five years. Yext is continuing to invest in its office on the 30th floor of the modern Upper West building, overlooking the Gedächtniskirche in the heart of Berlin. The office is the headquarters of Yext's operations in Central Europe.

"Yext's mission globally is to give companies control over their brand experience in the digital ecosystem, which consists of an increasing number of maps, apps, search engines, voice assistants and intelligent services," said Michael Hartwig, Managing Partner of Yext Central Europe. "This complexity will only continue to grow, and companies need to be prepared to control their brand consistency and visibility and to deliver the right information to customers at the right moment.

"Germans deserve the truth online," said Howard Lerman, Founder and CEO of Yext. "Yext is expanding rapidly in Germany including 200 new hires so when Germans ask a question online, they can receive verified answers from the source of truth."

Major German brands currently working with Yext include DM, BMW, Sixt, Barmenia, DEVK, and Fitness First.

"With this great strategic investment, Yext accelerates its further global growth," Hartwig concluded. "Berlin is home to a wealth of tech talent, and making strategic hires here will deepen Yext's capabilities in both the German market and the European market at large."
