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 2024, saw strong recurring revenue growth in 2025, 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
