As Business Development Manager, you’ll take ownership of a well-established portfolio of B2B clients while driving new business opportunities through proactive outreach. This is a fast-paced, performance-focused role that requires a dynamic, adaptable individual who thrives on exceeding sales targets and delivering exceptional service.

You’ll work closely with both internal teams and external suppliers to ensure seamless execution of customer projects – across print, promotional products, signage, digital and design.

• Ensure all sales activity is accurately recorded on the CRM and business management system
• Build strong, long-term relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
• Support wider team initiatives and contribute to overall business success

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience in a similar B2B sales role, ideally with a proven track record in exceeding targets
• Experience in Print, Promotional Products, Signage or Design is a strong advantage, though not essential
• Highly organised and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Excellent communication, influencing, negotiation and closing skills
• Strong customer focus and professional persistence
• Confident using Microsoft Office tools; comfortable extracting data and running sales reports
• Knowledge of ISO standards and an understanding of Health, Safety and Environmental protocols
• Full, clean driving licence and fluency in English

What’s on Offer?

In addition to a competitive base salary and uncapped performance-based bonus, you’ll be part of a well-established and reputable business that offers strong team support, real autonomy in your role, and a broad product/ service portfolio to take to market.

Please note: This is an office based role with regular customer visits within the Cork/ Little Island areas.
