As an e-commerce powerhouse, Vistaprint is a dynamic organization that maintains an exciting, entrepreneurial culture. With founder Robert Keane’s return as CEO, we’ve renewed our focus on empowering and helping small businesses. To do this, we create customer value (and delight) through accessible, cutting-edge technology. We thrive on providing opportunities for exploration, collaboration, innovation and growth – for both our customers and our team.
Vistaprint’s Customer Experience and Marketing organization serves, inspires and delights customers – and helps others in our organization do the same. From the simplest interaction on our website to how people take in our advertising and communications, we are obsessed with delivering value. We know our customers’ needs and we strive to exceed their expectations. Touching every element of the business, we’re here to grow and build the Vistaprint brand, reach new audiences and offer the best possible experience for every customer.
To say this is an exciting time to be at Vistaprint is an understatement. We are on a path to redefine ourselves to not only become an iconic brand but to also elevate our offering to achieve partner-like status with our customers. Today, we support 17 million small business customers. We also serve the print needs of home and family customers across weddings, invitations, holiday cards, and photo gifts. Just in this capacity we have a tremendous opportunity to build compelling and magnificent experiences in service of those print needs, but we are not going to stop there. We know we have the opportunity to do so much more on their behalf and at the core of that offering will be the digital experiences supported by the Vistaprint Customer Experiences teams.
