Sales Executive (Path to Senior AE & Future Leadership)
Cork office (on-site, 5 days/week) | Ireland & UK market
€34,000 base + €50,000 - €55,000 OTE (uncapped)
SmartOffice - AP Automation Software (Cantec Group)
SmartOffice is used by
1,000+ customers globally
to reduce manual invoice work and give finance teams better control over supplier spend.
Cantec began building a dedicated SmartOffice sales division in ****, saw strong recurring revenue growth in ****, and is now
hiring a Sales Executive to support the next stage of expansion.
What you'll be doing
Full sales cycle, speaking with finance teams who manage a steady volume of supplier invoices:
• Prospecting via phone, email and LinkedIn
• Running discovery calls & demos (support provided during ramp)
• Managing pipeline and closing new business
Consistency matters more than big one-off months.
You'll do well here if you have:
Outbound B2B sales experience such as:
• Inside sales, field sales, business development, telesales, or 360 recruitment
• Comfortable owning your pipeline and picking up the phone
Helpful (not required): experience in construction, logistics, hospitality, pharmacy or other invoice-heavy sectors.
Also suits people with backgrounds in:
• Competitive sport (coaching, progression, resilience)
• Running a business/side-business (pricing, margins, customers)
• Finance/AP/purchasing admin (invoices, statements, POs, month-end)
Progression & future path
This role is for someone who wants to grow with the division.
Performance-based progression:
Sales Executive ? Senior AE (~12 months) ? Team Lead ? Sales Manager as the division scales.
Compensation, responsibility and influence increase meaningfully at each step.
This won't be the right fit if:
• You need remote/hybrid work
• You have no outbound sales experience
• You prefer inbound/marketing-led environments
• Consistent weekly activity isn't your style
