Jive to consolidate operations into 52,000-sq.-ft headquarters

Orem-based cloud communications company Jive has announced that construction is under way on its new headquarters building in Pleasant Grove. Management had not said anything about the project until a surprise announcement to its employees at its annual employee appreciation party at Snowbird recently. The new 52,000-square-foot facility will bring all of the company’s employees together under one roof, Jive co-founder and CEO John Pope told the gathered employees. Jive management hope to move into the new headquarters next spring. Currently, Jive employees work from five separate locations.

Founded in 2006, Jive has grown from a handful of founders to employing over 500. Pope said he expects his company to add 200 more workers this year.

“Jive is one of the largest, privately held, cloud communications companies in the nation and we’re proud to be based in Utah County,” Pope said. “Our employees are hard-working, dedicated, long-term focused, and caring — all of which are reflections of the local culture. We’re excited to bring our teams back together again at a new Utah County home where we can continue to expand,” he said.

“This announcement not only signifies a lot of positive growth for our company, but it’s a big deal for our people to get back together under one roof,” said Paul Thatcher, Jive’s director of human resources.
