Careers in Portlaw, Waterford

Build your career with Agora Member Services

We look after the members of The Agora’s publishing brands – from Woodlock House in Portlaw, Waterford, alongside colleagues in the United States and Manila. Supportive teams, proper training and real room to grow.

Who we are

Formerly Emerald Contact Centre. Same people, new name.

Agora Member Services (AMS) is part of The Agora, a global network of independent publishing businesses including Banyan Hill, International Living, Money & Markets, Paradigm, Southbank Investment Research and The Oxford Club. We are the team members talk to when they call, email or chat with brands across the Agora network – in finance, health, travel and lifestyle.

We have grown from a small team in Portlaw into a multi-site operation across Ireland, the US and the Philippines. What hasn’t changed is how we work: real people who know the products, take ownership and look after each other.
