PAWTUCKET – Hasbro Inc. appears to be accelerating its move to the Boston Seaport.
As of Wednesday, 16 of the company’s 170 current job listings are specifically for its temporary Boston office at 25 Tomson Place, with seven of those added within the last two weeks
Hasbro's first Boston job opening appeared in September, shortly after the toy maker announced it was leaving its longtime headquarters at 1027 Newport Ave. in Pawtucket. Five of those seven openings were “Company Priority” listings, which signal a high importance to fill those roles.
On Sept. 8, Hasbro officially announced it plans to move to the Seaport District in Boston at 400 Summer St., ending speculation that had been ongoing since the fall of 2024.
The new space in Boston will house at least 700 full-time Hasbro employees. The company expects the full transition from Rhode Island to Boston to be completed by the end of 2026.
Hasbro spokesperson Andrea Snyder clarified that the 700-employee figure is not a ceiling for new hiring but represents the total number of full-time staff expected in Boston, combining current Rhode Island employees and any new hires.
Hasbro’s website currently shows a total of 41 current openings in Pawtucket. Snyder confirmed with Providence Business News that all Pawtucket jobs will shift to the Boston office once it opens, with employees expected onsite Tuesday through Thursday.
She said employees currently in Rhode Island or other New England locations are expected to transition to the Boston office by the end of 2026.
