Business Development Manager (Ireland)

Our client is a well-established supplier of industrial equipment and production solutions to manufacturing businesses across Ireland. Operating in partnership with leading international manufacturers, the company supports customers operating in fast-paced production environments where reliability, traceability and operational performance are critical. With a strong reputation for customer service, technical support and long-term client relationships, the business continues to strengthen its commercial presence across the Irish market.

The Business Development Manager will be responsible for developing and managing sales activity across Ireland, with a strong focus on new business development and customer relationship management. Operating autonomously across the territory, the role will involve identifying and progressing opportunities, managing customer engagement throughout the sales process and supporting continued commercial growth across manufacturing and industrial sectors.

Working closely with internal colleagues, the Business Development Manager will support proposal activity, commercial discussions and customer requirements while maintaining accurate pipeline management, forecasting and reporting activity. The role requires a proactive and commercially aware approach, with the ability to build effective customer relationships and manage opportunities in a structured manner.

The successful candidate will bring proven B2B sales or business development experience within manufacturing, industrial or production-led environments. Experience selling technical or industrial products would be advantageous, although the business is open to commercially capable sales professionals from a broader range of manufacturing-aligned sectors. Strong organisation, communication and relationship-building capability will be essential.

This is an opportunity to join a well-established business with a strong reputation across the manufacturing sector, operating within a customer-focused and commercially driven environment. Interested candidates are invited to apply accordingly. All submissions will be reviewed, and suitable candidates will be contacted directly.
