Job description

We're recruiting for an established, growing business within the dairy/farming sector that is looking to appoint a Commercial Manager to lead and scale its Irish operation.

This is a senior leadership role, but it is also a hands-on commercial position.

Working closely with the CEO and Head of Operations, you'll take ownership of commercial performance across Ireland, leading a small team while identifying new opportunities to increase revenue, strengthen the sales structure and drive future growth.

With a predominantly direct-to-farm model, they're looking for someone who wants to remain close to the market. You'll be just as comfortable getting out on-farm to support the team, developing new business and managing key accounts as you are analysing performance and developing commercial strategy.

The role will include:

• Leading, motivating and developing the commercial team
• Driving revenue growth and identifying new commercial opportunities
• Developing a scalable commercial and sales strategy
• Remaining hands-on with business development and key accounts
• Strengthening direct-to-farm sales and developing distribution opportunities
• Analysing KPIs, sales performance and wider commercial data
• Identifying improvements across customer interaction, operations and product innovation
• Working closely with the CEO and Head of Operations
• Representing the business at agricultural events and trade shows

What We're Looking For?

• A proven track record within sales and commercial growth
• Experience within agriculture, dairy, animal health or a closely related sector
• A good understanding of the Irish farming market and direct-to-farm sales
• A hands-on commercial approach and a willingness to remain close to customers
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop a team
• A commercially minded and analytical approach, with a strong focus on numbers and performance
• The ability to identify opportunities to increase revenue and scale a business
• Confidence engaging with everyone from farmers through to senior stakeholders
• A driven, enthusiastic and positive personality
• Strong attention to detail alongside the ability to see the bigger commercial picture
• Adaptability, resilience and the ambition to make a genuine impact

You may already be operating within commercial leadership, or you could be a high-performing sales professional ready to take the next step into a broader leadership role.

For someone looking for a position where they can have real commercial influence while remaining hands-on, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape the next stage of an established business.

In return, you will receive a base salary of up to €75K DOE with the on-target earning potential of up to €100K - plus company car and additional benefits.
