About Virgin Media:
At Virgin Media, we’ve got a very different way of looking at the world – and it shows in what we’re like as a place to work. We think work should be fun – because fun is what our Customers demand from our services. So you’ll be joining a bunch of people who are free- spirited, capable of coming up with their own ideas, and given free rein to put their talents to their best use. But besides being all about fun, we’re also deadly serious when it comes to putting our Customers first! Whether it’s TV, mobile, home phone or super- fast broadband series, at Virgin Media Ireland we’re 110% focused on making our Customers lives easier, richer and a little bit more fun.

Creating something special. Because let’s face it. If you don’t love what you do, it’s time to do something else. Join us.
