as we expand internationally.

onsite with experienced colleagues.
Archer Recruitment is an IT specialist recruitment agency. We partner with leading organisations across a variety of industries (including financial services, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and software) to deliver top IT talent. Our Business Development Team is at the forefront of our growth, winning new business, expanding existing partnerships, managing accounts, and driving the company toward its strategic vision.
The Opportunity
We're on an ambitious journey to expand beyond the Irish market, which includes growing our Business Development / Sales Development / Account Management capability. This is a full sales life cycle role, giving you ownership and control from prospecting through to closing, as well as managing accounts to enhance existing relationships.
This is more than just a sales job — it's a
consultative, service-focused role
in a specialist sector with a clear focus. It's also an
accelerated pathway to leadership
, offering the chance to become an influential player within the organisation (all our managers have grown internally).
Why Join Us?
* Ownership & Impact:
With limitless support and mentorship, you'll manage your own accounts end-to-end, from identifying opportunities to negotiating and closing deals.
* Career Growth:
Clear pathway to leadership with real progression opportunities; as part of our international expansion programme, you'll be at the leading edge of the company's growth.
* Collaboration & Learning:
This is an in-office role designed to maximise collaboration. Learn directly from experienced colleagues, contribute to team success, and develop your leadership skills by supporting and mentoring others.
* Specialist Sector:
Work in a consultative, relationship-driven environment — no "transactional" or "product" sales, just true long-term relationship building.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Identify, prospect, and engage with new clients within a defined industry territory.
* Build and maintain strong, consultative relationships with existing clients to expand accounts.
* Lead the full sales cycle from initial outreach to contract negotiation and closing.

* Contribute to the strategic growth of the Business Development function and the wider business.
What We're Looking For:

* Strong relationship building or consultative selling skills — ideally from a service-based sales environment.
* Ambition, resilience, and a track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
* A collaborative mindset with a desire to learn, grow, and eventually lead.
What We Offer:
