Native is one of the world’s leading independent design and innovation consultancies. With 25 years of experience leading transformational change for global brands across Europe and the US, we're now looking to grow our network within the Irish market.
We’re hiring a Business Development Manager with the confidence, clarity and ambition to open new doors and build relationships with world-class clients – particularly in health, pharma, med tech, and beyond.
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the growth of a respected design studio that fuses industrial design, digital experience, and engineering under one roof. You’ll work closely with our Design Strategy and Leadership team to identify, engage and secure new business opportunities with some of the most innovative organisations in the world.

* Represent Native at industry events, conferences, exhibitions and networking sessions.
* Help define and evolve our business development strategy as we scale – both in the UK and internationally.
Who You Are
You’re not just a networker – you’re a builder. Someone who thrives on spotting opportunities, making meaningful connections, and seeing things through. You likely bring:
* Proven experience winning new business in design, innovation, or med tech sectors.
* Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to create compelling, structured proposals.
* Strategic thinking and commercial awareness – understand where design adds value.
* A natural connector, who enjoys meeting people and building trusted relationships.
* Organised and proactive, with a sharp eye for detail and excellent follow-through.
* Collaborative by default, and comfortable working across teams to bring opportunities to life.
* Ambitious and entrepreneurial, with ideas on how we can do things better, smarter and bigger.
What We Offer
We value talent and reward impact. At Native, you’ll be part of a deeply experienced, down-to-earth team that values both craft and character. Benefits will vary slightly depending on location but you can always expect.
