The digital hub will be used as a base for teams working on the Milton Keynes-based company's infrastructure projects and to allow improved engagement with London-based tech partners.
Argos is recruiting a number of roles following the opening of the office, based near Victoria Station, including product managers, developers, development managers, digital designers and testers.
'For us, this is about creating a space for collaboration and innovation. We want to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit I know to be at the heart of our business and which has meant that nearly 50 per cent of our business now originates in a digital channel,' said Argos digital director Bertrand Bodson.
He said: 'We want to build on the successes we have already seen with digital initiatives such as Blippar and Digital Christmas Gift Guide and take that further. Building our agile capability is a strong boost to Argos' transformation plans, allowing us to bring digital solutions to the market faster and in a more timely and relevant way.'
He said he was 'keen to hear from anyone interested in joining us on this exciting journey'. Projects operating from the base are already underway after the office unofficially opened on January 6.
