Head of Recruitment and Candidate Experience
Business Development – Wine-Focused Role | On-Trade | Dublin / Leinster
Flexible Location | Company Car (EV Option) | Bonus | Hybrid Working
We’re working with a long-established, Irish wine business that’s growing their team. The company is looking for someone who’s passionate about wine and hospitality — someone who’s confident talking to restaurant owners, hotel managers, and sommeliers, and who understands how to spot an opportunity and build long-term relationships.
This isn’t your typical sales role. It’s more about being a trusted partner to your customers — helping them build great wine lists, grow their business, and feel confident in what they’re offering. Whether you come from a wine sales background, have hospitality experience, or you’re a sommelier looking for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
Why This Job Could Be a Great Fit
* You’ll join a small, supportive team with people who’ve been in the industry for years
* This is an Irish wine business with a long-standing reputation in the trade. It started with a well-known local merchant and has grown steadily over time — still proudly Irish-run, with strong values and a clear vision for the future
* They’re growing and have a clear plan for the next few years — but without losing the personal, people-first feel
* You’ll have autonomy in your day, a voice in how things are done, and a chance to make a real impact
What the Role Involves
* Working with existing hospitality customers and building new ones in your territory
* Supporting customers with product recommendations and wine list planning
* Hosting tastings and training for staff, from casual venues to 5-star hotels
* Putting together proposals based on customer needs, trends, and commercial sense
* Collaborating with internal teams who know the accounts and can help with day-to-day challenges
* Attending supplier visits and trade events
* Using sales data and customer feedback to shape your approach
* Creating basic presentations using tools like Excel and PowerPoint
You’ll have the support of an experienced team behind you — you won’t be out there on your own. This business has a brilliant culture, people who really care, and a leadership team that backs their employees.
The Kind of Person We’re Looking For
* You might already be working in wine sales — or you might be a sommelier, restaurant manager, or someone with strong hospitality experience
* You’re confident, personable, and know how to build rapport quickly
* You understand how businesses make money, and how to bring value without pushing
* You enjoy talking about wine, learning about producers, and finding the right fit for each customer
* You’re proactive, self-motivated, and organised enough to manage your own time
* You have a full driving licence
* WSET or wine qualifications are great, but not essential
Salary structure :
* Competitive salary + annual bonus
* Company car – electric (BIK advantage), hybrid or fuel options available
* Pension contribution
* Laptop & phone
* Maternity & paternity leave (after qualifying period)
* Access to discounts, tasting events, and internal perks and additional benefits
If this sounds like your kind of role — and your kind of team, apply now!
